What reading level is Jerusalem Under the High Priests book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was common from this time for a Jew to have a Greek name beside his Hebrew name, often chosen for its resemblance in sound : a Jeshua would take the name of Jason, an Eliakim the name of Alcimus, and so on. Jason, by the usual sort of money-transaction at court, got himself recognised as high-priest by the king's govern- ment in the place of his brother, and he obtained THE HIGH-PRIESTHOOD OF JASON 79 leave to remodel Jerusalem, as a new Antioch, on Hellenic lines. The dispossessed Oniah see...ms to have gone on living in exile at Antioch ; the flock of the Hasidim were without their shepherd ; and Jason and the Hellenists had it all their OAvn way. The indispensable gymnasium rose in the heart of the city ; the younger members of the Jewish aris- tocracy eagerly formed a body of ephehoi, and flaunted about the streets in the ephebic garb, which corre- sponded, as we saw, to the Greek country dress — chlamys and broad-brimmed hat. By the act of its own people, Jerusalem had renounced its age-long isolation and come into line with the great Hellenic world.
