What reading level is The Life And Teaching of Jesus the Christ book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the chosen ruler the people would revolt from the Romans; they would restore again the kingdom to Israel; they would be freed from alien rule and alien tax-gatherers. Instead of being the servants of the Gentiles, they would be their masters. It was a dream such as this which, at the time of the enrolment, had stirred John of Gamala to found the sect of the Galilaeans. It was this ideal which had stirred up so many revolts, and which finally caused the whole nation to wreck themselves in ...a hopeless, if heroic, contest with the military power of Rome.
But this ideal of a temporal sovereignty r^ight be held also in a lofty and elevated form, so that the restored king- dom might mean the fulfilment of the highest ideals of the old Israel. In this form it presents itself to us in the Psalms of Solomon, an apocryphal collection belonging to the years that followed on Pompey's conquest of Jerusalem. It mourns over the fall of the city and exalts over the death of the conqueror, an event which is described in picturesque language inspired by national hatred.
