I wonder how he ever enraged
and then engaged an empire I think he first engaged and then enraged an empire (if you're talking about Jesus). The empire wouldn't have cared enough about him to be enraged if he hadn't first engaged a following. This is a minor nit, not a big deal.
Thanks for your thoughts! I will change the title with the first edit -- thanks for calling that out. What I had in mind here was how the Roman empire was persecutorial toward Christianity and then made it the official religion under Constantine. However, I can see how that could be confusing because he first engaged a Jewish following and then enraged the Jewish elders. I'll have to think on this and figure out a clearer way to express myself.
