Dorothy L. Sayers’s last play, The Emperor Constantine, employs her fundamental trust in analogies between the present and the past in order to embody political and theological particulars which surrounded Constantine I and the First Ecumenical Council. Sayers bases her dramatic approach upon her philosophy of history and of creative personhood, conceptions which are indebted to the decisions of that era in Christian history. In her estimation, a theology of the Trinity and the two-nature of Christ undergird both a basic trust in a Western heritage of human action and in the dramatic shape of the individual’s need for forgiveness and grace
