What reading level is Life And Letters in Roman Africa Microform book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was no great amount of secret revelation, the main object being the bring- ing of the worshipper into direct communion with his god by purifying ceremonies and a holy life.
1 Augustine (Conf. IV. 16) implies that Aristotle's works were practically unknown in Africa.
6 7 Philosophy and Religion — Apuleius These feelings were particularly strong in Africa, where the Semitic cast of thought encouraged belief in a vague monotheism, or at least in the identifica- tion of the chief deities as d...ifferent aspects of one power. The kindly nature-gods of Greece and Rome, who could be bought over to favour the worshipper by a certain amount of sacrifice and prayer, were very different from Baal or Tanit or Melcarth, some- times fierce and destructive, sometimes benign, but at least all-powerful, and to be represented by a symbol rather than by any figure in human form. In such conditions it is not surprising that the lack of deep or original thought was fatal to genuine philosophical study.
