I am just starting Wes Howard-Brook new book Empire Baptized (Orbis 2016). Here my quick breakdown of the changes from the second century to the fifth century church:
Church Before Constantine Church After Constantine
persecuted minority privileged majority
no political power political clout and power
counter-cultural church status quo keeping church
church of powerless Church of rich and powerful
no king but Christ Pope and King often joined together
