What reading level is The Historical Bible book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The logic of legalistic Judaism seemed simple and irrefutable: the divine king was also the great lawgiver.
Man's primary duty, therefore, was to show his loyalty to Jehovah by keeping all the conmiands of the divine law. Since God was just, each man, if not here, in the life beyond, wodd receive his just de- serts. Ceremonial legalism was a cold, logical, pitiless religion which divorced the individual from personal contact with God and imposed upon him a burden heavy to bear, for no one was a...ble to meet each and every demand of the law. Upon the poor and lowly and outcast this burden rested most heavily, for they were hopelessly handici^ped by virtue of their occupations, their birth, and their lack of education.
True, other more spiritual types of faith were current in Judaism, but they were not emphasized or ordinarily taught by the leaders of the nation.
II. The Growth of the Belief in the Fatherhood of God. In leading his race back to a simpler, truer conception of God, Jesus ex* pressed the essence of religion in the one all-embracing word, Father.
