Lactantius

Lactantius, or Lucius CIECILIUS FIRMIANUS (325 AD) was a Church father and mentor to Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor who transformed the history of Christianity.

He was born a Pagan but later changed his mind and repented. Before he knew Constantine, he knew Diocletian which just helps to show just how influential he was. He later wrote works that condemned paganism. Despite being so influential, he is barely known today, probably due to propaganda. He argued that the soul is immutable and unchangeable. Because tradition is the same way, then if he lived today, he would be a conservative.
