What reading level is The Bride of Christ; a Study in Christian Legend Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Christ, with whom she loved to speak of him, she became a wonderful teacher of truth. Some say that the ring with which Jesus Christ had wedded her was received and preserved in the City of Alexandria, of Egypt, after the death and passion of Madame St. Catharine." We have not been able to compare this modernized ver- sion with Jean Mielot's manuscript, but we would be inter- ested to know whether the original contains mention of St.
Catharine taking cognizance at once that ^'the vision was to ...be understood in a spiritual sense." In apparent con- tradiction to it are other passages which insist on the real- ity of both the vision and the marriage, in token of which a real ring is left on her finger. According to the ascetic atmosphere of Christian mythology the spirituality of this marriage relation is a matter of course, and so the narrator of the legend impresses his audience with the belief that St. Catharine is not merely the bride of Christ in the sense that any nun may be so considered, but in the special and true meaning of the word.
