What reading level is Elements of Universal History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theological disputes occupied the greater part of his life ; his homilies are moral treatises, in which the tenderest sensi- bility is conveyed in a style sparkling with images and rich in allegory. His brother, Gregory of Nyssa, by his philosophy and his energy against heretics and schismatics, obtained from his contemporaries the title of Pater Patrum.
Gregory of Nazianzurn possessed a more elevated genius and more brilliani eloquence. When hatred, excited by his censures and by a domineering... spirit, which he could not repress, had raised powerful enemies against him, he re- signed his see without regret, but not without pain, and the farewell of the bishop was the masterpiece of the orator. Chrysostom of Antioch, d. 407, by his clear and easy eloquence, by his rich and bold imagery, by his power of reasoning joined to grandeur of ideas and tenderness of sentiment, may be com pared with Demosthenes or Cicero. He is the chief of the orators of that primitive period. Theophilus> patriarch of Alexandria, whose intolerance was so fatal to the arts and philosophy, brought into the bosom of the church Syne- sius of Ptolemais, afterwards bishop of his native city, 430.
