What reading level is Antiqua Mater : a Study of Christian Origins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


proclaim it/ As we have already seen, Justin adds the notice that they set out from Jerusalem. Neither writer knows their names or their dates. We must conclude that the noble conception of a New Life and a New People, born from the spiritual travail of a revolutionary time, was nourished by a fantastic and mystical exegesis of Scripture, including the Mishna, and was fixed as the inner meaning of the baptism of proselytes to the teaching and legends of the Hagioi or kindred sects.
What is Life
... without Liberty ? A fleeting flower without lustre or perfume, as one of our poets had sung. It was the passionate yearning for spiritual liberty which gave rise to the conception of the New Law. So again did aspiration clothe itself in the form of fact, and the Ideal of desire was converted into the real for belief. Once more the inexhaustible oracle of the first chapter of Isaiah was drawn upon. Sacrifices, feasts of the new moon, sabbaths, aU were done away, * That the New Law of our Lord Jesus Christ, leirig without the yoke of necessity, might not have the man- made offering' ^ We dwell only upon the substance of the thought, believing the passage, from its phraseology, to be open to suspicion of interpolation where it stands.
