What reading level is The Arian Controversy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For ten more years of painful dissimulation Julian'walked with the gods' in secret, before the young lion of heathenismcould openly throw off the 'donkey's skin' of Christianity.
[Sidenote: Julian's reorganisation of heathenism. ] Once master of the world, Julian could see its needs without using theeyes of the Asiatic camarilla. First of all, Christian domination mustbe put down. Not that he wanted to raise a savage persecution. Crueltyhad been well tried before, and it would be a poor success... to stamp outthe 'Galilean' imposture without putting something better in its place. As the Christians 'had filled the world with their tombs' (Julian's wordfor churches), so must it be filled with the knowledge of the livinggods. Sacrifices were encouraged and a pagan hierarchy set up to opposethe Christian. Heathen schools were to confront the Christian, andheathen almshouses were to grow up round them. Above all, the priestswere to cultivate temperance and hospitality, and to devote themselvesto grave and pious studies.
