What reading level is Jewish Contributions to Civilization book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The doc- trine was rescued by the monotheism of the Jew from the grotesque features and ceremonies which characterized it among the Babylonians, the Egyptians, and the Greeks. The spritual genius of the Jew, while asserting unequivocally the fact and emphasizing its moral significance, has wisely abstained from an expression of opinion regarding a thou- sand details.
(7) By the side of these great doctrines concerning God, his father- hood, man's brotherhood, the soul, its dignity and immortali...ty, we must place yet another, the Jewish conception of the golden age. This age to him is not past, but future. He had, it is true, his pic- ture of Eden, that garden of God, where the first man held free con- I 2 verse with his Maker. But this picture is not of Jewish origin. It came from Babvlon and never succeeded in making a strong impression on the national thought. The Old Testament makes but little of it out- side of the narrative in Genesis. In view of the emphasis given to the story by later theologies, the reserve in the New Testament is like- wise most signiiicant.
