Roth edited Constantine Revisited: Leithart, Yoder, and the Constantinian Debate, a collection of essays by Christian pacifists criticizing Peter Leithart's argument that Constantine steered the Church in the wrong direction by abandoning Christ's doctrine of nonviolence, exemplified by his willingness to die rather than defend himself, and arguing instead that God did not want Christians to live as a powerless, oppressed minority.[4]

He currently teaches at Goshen College.
