What reading level is The Dawn of Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the words of Professor Lake, to whose article in the Harvard Theological Re- view reference has already been made, "Human nature will often listen to a reformer who wishes to change either the appearance or the sub- stance of his reform, but not to one who attacks both simultaneously. One generation alters the substance, but leaves the appearance; the next sees the inconsistency and changes the appear- ance as well. It takes two generations to com- plete the process, and that is reform ; if ...the at- tempt be made to do both at once, it becomes revolution. " No one can read "The Shepherd" without feeling that some such diagnosis of the conditions on which progress depends must have been made by Hermas before he broached his new ideas on baptism, church government and other vital issues of his day. For, instead of clothing his thought in direct forms of speech, he resorts to a long-established, universally ac- cepted and eminently popular mode of literary expression, the apocalypse. Enough for him to 148 "THE SHEPHERD" OF HERMAS present the new order of thought in veiled and visionary form ; let the next generation address itself to furnishing explicit, adequate, unveiled modes of expression.
