What reading level is Oinos a Discussion of the Bible Wine Question book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to set up a false criterion, and bring everything to the test of that. It is to make the vitiated taste of a nine- teenth century sot the standard of the taste of a Jewish archi- triklinos of the first century. It will not do to answer that this interpretation is sustained by the custom, referred to in the remarks of the ruler of the feast, of setting forth the best wine at the beginning of a feast. For this is only to bolster up one fallacy by another. It is not true, as these interprete...rs would have us believe, that the strongest wines formed the first course of an entertainment, and then, when these had blunted the taste, beverages of an inferior quality were palmed off upon the guests. Evidence in support of such a theory has been diligently sought for, but without success. Meyer admits f that " the general custom, however, to which the table-master refers, is not elsewhere with any certainty confirmed. " It is in evidence, on the other hand, that the general custom of a banquet was to use at the beginning of a feast the lighter and largely diluted wines, while the heaviest and specially intoxi- cating sorts were reserved to the last.
