Thanks, I’ll look into your recommended book.

However, when, Constantine was baptised he did accept it at the hands of a Semi-Arian correct?

Didn’t Constantine also seek to make the Roman Empire Arian (or Semi-Arian) in his latter years?

Thanks

Eusebius of Nicomedia was more than a semi-Arian. He was a defender of Arianism at the Council of Nicaea, though at the end, he signed the orthodox confession. That said, the Church generally accepted the baptism of Arians as valid, and did not demand that Arians who converted to the orthodox belief be rebaptized.

As for Constantine's intentions, it seems to me that his #1 intention was to put an end to the bickering among Christian groups and as a result, it often seemed like he favored one side or the other.
