What reading level is Early History of the Christian Church From Its Foundation to the End of the Th book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is possible that some features of Irenaeus' account, here given, belong to a later development of the doctrine. But, as a whole, it tallies with Justin's story, and with that given in the Acts. The strong biblical colouring, even where the authority of the Bible was not recognised ; the mixture of dualistic ideas and Hellenic rites ; the practice of magic, all are quite characteristic of Samaria, the holy land of religious syncretism. Gnosticism, which was destined to attain a fuller develop...ment elsewhere, already displays its special features : i. E. , an abstract God ; the world, the work of inferior celestial beings; the Divinity partially lost in humanity and released by redemption. Even the male and female pairs (syzygies) of the Valentinian system, are here outlined in the Supreme Power and the First Thought (Simon and Helen).
One notable feature is that the founder of this religious movement claimed to be an incarnation of the Divinity. This is evidently an imitation of the Gospel story.
