What reading level is The City of God a Series of Discussions in Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yes, Egypt had much to teach Moses, and Moses was wise enough to learn the best it could teach. He learned that an exalted conception I 114 GOD AND ISRAEL.
of God badly expressed did not make a good religion ; that a debased worship of Deity did not ennoble man or regulate for good his conduct ; that a faith adminis- tered by priests for the priesthood could only deprave and enslave the people. He so learned what religion ought not to be that he was enabled to understand what it must be made if... it was to rule man. The stern Hebrew soul in him recoiled from a faith so soft and indulgent to the strong, so harsh and oppressive to the weak. The high spiritual interior doctrine, so far from justifying, would only the more condemn the sensuous and often sensual practice. Imagine the young man of clean soul, of severe spirit, learning in the schools the high mysteries peculiar to the initiated, the mysteries touching the unity and the indestructi- bility of life, the Deity who was the one and the all, denoted by a thousand names, expressible by none.
