English summary: Detlef Liebs examines why the early Christians had to suffer so much under Rome’s criminal law system and how they managed to turn this persecution into opportunities to witness and further their missionary activities. The author goes on to look at the legal implications of the Constantinian shift, how it entangled the authorities in quarrels of faith and led to further unrest among the Christians. However, the upheaval also helped enrich social life and saw legal practitioners, who had long remained heathen, converted with some of them even becoming saints. German description: Detlef Liebs untersucht, warum die Christen lange unter Roms Strafjustiz zu leiden hatten; aber auch, wie sie die Moglichkeiten des romischen Strafprozesses nutzten, um fur ihren Glauben zu werben. Zudem zeigt er, wie ihr Missionieren schliesslich erfolgreich war und Konstantins Wende zum Christengott ihm half, seine Macht zu legitimieren und zum Absolutismus auszubauen. Der Autor uberpruft die Ruckwirkungen dieses Umbruchs auf Rechtsordnung und gesellschaftliches Leben sowie die Verwicklung der Herrscher in heikle Glaubensfragen; neuartige Unruhen unter den Christen und zwischen Christen und Altglaubigen forderten die Ordnungsmacht heraus. Am Ende wird deutlich, wie sich die Fuhrer der Christen als Sachwalter und Organe der staatlichen Ordnung einbinden liessen und das Christentum dem Zusammenleben auch unter den Germanenkonigen Halt gab.
