What reading level is The Beginnings of Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All men know how the memorable conflict ended with the triumph of Christianity — the blessed Agnes her- self was one of the last victims of the cruel struggle, though so glorious a one that all Christianity forever repeats the praises of the delicate maiden who wit- nessed so successfully for Jesus Christ.
Nevertheless, paganism, though driven from the public offices and places of honor, was far from vanquished. Historians draw for us a vivid pic- ture of the long conflicts that it sustained be...fore it yielded all hope of a formal reinstatement. And when, at last, it saw the Roman world finally Christian, it saw also the coarser forms of its own religion coming from the mysterious homes of barbarism to contest with Christianity the peaceful possession of its conquest.
ST. AGNES OF ROME. , 199 For a thousand years, indeed, during the long epoch that was the childhood and youth of the great modern nations, the political control of the world was wrested from the hands of paganism. Men believed in a Christendom, an earthly society of all Christian peoples bound in amity and charity and mutual helpfulness, inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit of His holy Church, whose aim was the life eternal with God and His saints, whose ideals were all spiritual, grandiose, uplifting man out of the narrowness and insuf- ficiency of this life.
