The history of Christianity is filled with pivotal moments that shaped the faith as it is known today. One such moment is the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. Often credited with the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire and praised for his role in convening the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, Constantine is hailed by many as a significant figure in Christian history. However, a closer examination of his influence reveals a more complex and controversial legacy, particularly regarding his role in removing mystical and philosophical texts from early Christian teachings. Born in Naissus (modern-day Niš, Serbia) in 272 CE, Constantine became the Roman Emperor in 306 CE, reigning until his death in 337 CE. His reign is often remembered for the Edict of Milan, issued in 313 CE, which granted religious tolerance to Christians and allowed for the open practice of Christianity. This was a monumental shift for a religion that had previously faced persecution in the Roman Empire. Constantine's actions were certainly revolutionary in bringing Christianity out of the shadows and making it a prominent force within the empire. However, while Constantine is celebrated for his support of Christianity, his influence on the shaping of the religion was not without its drawbacks. According to the teachings of the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood, Constantine's legacy includes the removal of many mystical and philosophical elements from the early Christian tradition. This deliberate exclusion of certain texts and teachings played a significant role in shaping the version of Christianity that emerged under his rule—one that was more institutionalized and politically aligned with the interests of the Roman state. The First Council of Nicaea, convened by Constantine, was one of the defining moments of his reign. The council sought to address theological disputes within Christianity, particularly concerning the nature of Christ and his relationship to God. However, beyond the theological debates, the council also had a profound impact on which texts were deemed "canonical" and which were excluded from the official Christian doctrine. Many of the mystical, esoteric, and philosophical texts that existed in early Christian communities were omitted from the canon, leading to a more streamlined and orthodox version of the faith.
