Return of the Exiles
Following the death of Constantine, a short dynastic bloodbath occurs, after which his sons divide the empire between themselves.

Customer Reviews
Awesome Church History Podcast!!
This is a fantastic Church history podcast. As a practicing Catholic with degrees in both history and theology, Terry does a great job of narrating the various significant dramas and episodes that make up early Church history. He roots his narrative in the best New Testament and Patristic sources and strikes a great ecumenical tone.
I’m giving it four stars only because he hasn’t gotten to his stated goal of ending at 451, but the episodes so far are great and recommended!
Entertaining and Informative
I learned lot about early church history from Acts to Constantine including important locations, people, and philosophies.
Thanks for this great and fun podcast.
The Lip Smacking Ends!
Very informative and well researched!! (If you’re worried about the lip smacking, it stops after episode 12!)
