Constantine

[reg1dj]

Where in the bible can I find information on Constantine?

Assuming you mean Constantine the Great, you cannot find anything about him in Scripture since he was born over 200 years after the close of the events and writings recorded in Scripture.

Here’s the article about him from a Catholic Encyclopedia:

newadvent.org/cathen/04295c.htm

Well I am confused about the movie Constantine. Why did they call it Constantine?

Sorry - I can’t help you on the movie.

Maybe Alan Moore, the creator of the character in the Hellblazer comics (originally appearing in Swamp Thing) just thought the name sounded good. I can’t find any other meaning mentioned on Hellblazer sites but there are forums. Someone somewhere will know the answer.

Everything I know about Constantine I’ve learned in the last minutes. Now I just want to know why he had to transmute into an American for the movie.

It’s a pity there is no Swamp Thing in the Bible…​

Of course, Superman is a Saviour-figure - so he is “sort of” in the Bible ##

Yea, but I think I see an occassional sighting on this forum when He comes by to snipe and run!

The movie Constantine was called that because the main characters name is John Constantine.

It is based on a comicbook called Hellblazer.
