What reading level is Horae Evangelicae Or the International Evidence of the Gospel History Being book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This note of time is equally conclusive in favour of a considerably later date.
In these remarks it has been assumed that two years elapsed between the visit of St. Paul, and the recall of Felix, which results from the usual and natural construction of Acts xxiv. 27. Some, however, have supposed that these two years relate, not to the time of St. Paul's imprisonment, but only to the government of Felix, reckoned either from its origin, or from some renewal, until his recall. But it is very unli...kely that St. Luke should adopt so vague an expression, and date from an event nowhere specified in his history. If referred to the first appointment of Felix, 174 THE CHRONOLOGY OF the words would openly contradict those of St. Paul, in the beginning of the same chapter, where he states his government to have lasted many years, and not for two only. On the other hand, to date from some unknown renewal of his office would be in every way most unnatural. And besides, a simple compa- rison of verses 10, 27, will prove clearly that the historian was not referring, in any sense, to the length of Felix's government, but simply to the long delay, before the cause of the Apostle came to a real decision.
