What reading level is The Gospel History And Its Transmission book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are not things to be 309 THE GOSPEL HISTORY consecrated : they have nothing to do with religion. Consequently we find those that hold this theory either regard mere morality as a thing indifferent ; or, as more often happens with those in whom the religious feeling, the devotion to the Divine, is strong, they fall into the opposite error of asceticism.
Among these was Marcion, and he impressed his beliefs on his followers. According to Marcion, the procreation of children was a doing the w...orks of the Creator of this world, an act unworthy of a member of Christ. And so no Marcionite was admitted to baptism, unless the candidate was prepared to live a life of abso- lute continence from that day forward. Holy Matrimony to the Marcionite meant marriage to Christ, and for man and wife to live together meant divorce from Christ.^ Tertullian's strictures on Marcion about this very important point are both vigorous and sensible. Gluttony, he says, is bad, but that is no reason for proscribing food ; what is needed is temperance.
