What reading level is The Christ a Critical Review And Analysis of the Evidences of His Existence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps because it was passed over in silence by Nikolaus of Damascus, who, writ- The Infancy of Christ. 113 ing in the true spirit of those Hellenizing courtiers, who wanted to make a political Mes- siah out of a corrupt and blood-stained usurper, magnified all his patron's achievements, and con- cealed or palliated all his crimes. But the more probable reason is that Josephus, whom, in spite of all the immense literary debt which we owe to him, we can only regard as a renegade and a sycophant..., did not choose to make any al- lusion to facts which were even remotely con- nected with the life of Christ" (Life of Christ, pp. 22, 23).
A more absurd reason than the first advanced by Farrar it is difficult to conceive. The sec- ond, that it was a matter of too little consequence to record, an explanation which other Christian apologists have assigned, is as unreasonable as it is heartless. The silence of Nikolaus, who wrote of Herod after his death, is also signifi- cant, and the excuse ofifered by Farrar that he omitted it because he was the friend of Herod, even if admitted, cannot apply to Josephus, who abhorred the memory of this monarch.
