What reading level is Religion And the Future Life the Development of the Belief in Life After Death book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the period before Homer our knowledge of religion and in particular of the belief in immortality rests on data from three sources. The Homeric poems themselves throw some light on the subject. In addi- tion to literary evidence we have secondly archaeolog- ical evidence, mainly from graves. And thirdly there is the evidence from later religious practices which can best be understood as persisting from a primitive age. We cannot reconstruct the history of religion or in particular of a belie...f in the future life in the period before Homer. At best we can secure some concep- tion of the attitude toward death and the spirits of the dead existing before the epic and modified by the epic point of view.
Early graves in Greek lands, to speak first of archaeological data, suggest a belief not out of line with that in other eastern Mediterranean countries. In more primitive graves the remains show that the body was in a crouching posture, the knees drawn up to the chin; later it was laid flat, and with no partic- ular orientation.
