What reading level is The Culture of Ancient Israel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who will decide a priori the point beyond 62 THE CULTURE OF ANCIENT ISRAEL. Which genius may not pass ? Must Moses have con- fessed a rehgious perception inferior to that of the author of the ancient narrative of paradise and the fall of man, v^hose monotheism indeed leaves noth- ing to be desired? Could not Moses be content with what he actually accomplished, to bid Israel to worship its own God only and to forbid it to serve any other gods besides? If Israel was actually convinced that it had... only its one God to serve, who laid claim upon it as his possession alone, and wished to be everything to it, that would be practically much more valuable than any theoretical doctrine about the nature of God, and Moses could confidently leave the rest to God and time. So much is made nowadays of monotheistic cur- rents in the religions of ancient civilizations. But however great we may assume the influence of the Egyptian esoteric doctrine upon Moses to have been, even if a pure monotheism was taught in these mysteries, still to Moses belongs the enormous merit that what was whispered about among the initiated in Egypt was now preached from the house tops and made more useful to humanity, and especially that he had drawn the religious consequences there- from.
