What reading level is A Neglected Era book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the Chasidim or "pious, " they had suffered martyrdom under Antiochus Epi- phanes and had sacrificed life and property in the desperate conflict for religious freedom under Judas Maccabeus. At first the friends and loyal supporters of the Asmonean monarchs, they be- came the bitter opponents of John Hyrcanus when he had made law and religion secondary to politi- cal advancement, and it was during his reign that they first received the name of Pharisees and Sep- aratists. They were completely... dominated by one idea, that of the law, and looked out upon life from its contracted viewpoint, vigorously op- posing as evil all that conflicted with its letter. Political independence and material prosperity which would involve contact with profane and unclean nations, were resigned in the hope that they might be amply restored at the coming of the promised Messiah; and the burdensome law was kept by faithful Pharisees with scrupulous ex- actness because of the reward which awaited its disciple in heaven.
