What reading level is The Old Testament for Learners 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And to secure this Samuel must rise from his grave, and therefore Saul must apply to a witch to raise him. On the other hand, it is far from impossible that St»ul, in his despau', was really driven to a means of learning the future which he had himself condemned, though he no more thought of deny- ing its efficacy than did any of his contemporaries.
Our final estimate of Saul will be but little affected whether we accept or reject this journey to Endor as a fact. For a single despairing action ...is no great evidence against a man.
Saul excites our deepest interest. Hardly anywhere else in the Bible do we feel that the hero of a tragedy has passed before us so sti-ongly as in the history of Saul. Of noble form and fiery spirit, religious by nature and inspired by a heai-tfelt love of his people, courageous and enterprising, he rose as IsraeFs deliverer and as a zealous servant of Yahweh. But this friend of Samuel, who vindicates the severity of the i-e- ligious laws, builds altars to Yahweh, strives to exterminate the Canaanites, and chastises all heathen practices, gradually becomes such a bitter foe of Yahweh's messengers that one who finds himself in company where he is utterly out of place comes to be called a " Saul among the prophets." Gradually all the powers of his impulsive and commanding spirit became the slaves of suspicion and hatred, till, in the murder of the priests of Nob, and the stubborn persecution of David, we see what the man had by slow degrees become !
