What reading level is The Life of Jesus in the Light of the Higher Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All that colossal magnificence in which he lived was no more able to sustain him in his place than is the sand-heap of the child to stay the sweep of the Atlantic tide. Were this world a perfect chrysolite, and that gem ours, it would not console us for the moment in our experience when we were weighed in the scales of char- acter and found wanting. 98 THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS To "tempt the Lord thy God, " to fly in the face of providence, to spurn the fixed laws of the universe, was, for Jesus,... no mode in which to manifest divine sonship. If it be granted that the temple "is symbolical of conservatism, of allegiance to the old dispen- sation, the law of Moses, " as contrasted with concern for progress and devotion to a higher law, then this third temptation of Jesus might be construed as a testing of his loyalty to the deeper morality for which he stood and also of his trust in its power to prepare men for entrance into the coming kingdom of heaven on earth.
Such, I take it, were the real temptations to which Jesus was subjected.
