i love that tidbit of info, it generally throws people into a tizzy. i recommend the book 'constantine's sword', a good read about christianity. susan wise bauer's history of ancient and early medieval also are good, with sections on the growth of christianity and rulers attempts at controlling the religion-constantine's attempts at stopping aryanism for instance.
