The statement that is true about Christianity is:

Christianity was outlawed until Emperor Constantine converted.

While the characterization of the early Christian church is complex, Christianity was indeed persecuted in the Roman Empire until Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 AD, which granted religious tolerance for Christianity.

To clarify the other statements:

  1. Judaism began as a branch of Christianity: This is false. Christianity began as a movement within Judaism but is not considered a branch of it; rather, it is a separate religion that emerged from Jewish traditions.

  2. The Ketuvim is a section in the Holy Bible: This is misleading. The Ketuvim (Writings) is part of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) but not part of the Christian Bible as a canonical section; however, some texts from the Ketuvim, like Psalms, are included in the Christian Old Testament.

  3. Pesach is a major Christian religious holiday: This is false. Pesach (Passover) is a significant Jewish holiday celebrating the Exodus from Egypt, not a Christian holiday.

Thus, the best choice is the statement regarding Emperor Constantine.
