What reading level is The Origin of Pauls Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Was it a school- master to bring the Jews to Christ only in its essential char- acter, or was it actually being used in that beneficent way by the Jews of the age of Paul?
The answer to these questions, so far as it can be obtained, is on the whole disappointing. The Judaism of the Pauline period does not seem to have been characterized by a pro- found sense of sin. And the reason is not far to seek. The legalism of the Pharisees, with its regulation of the minute details of life, was not reall...y making the Law too hard to keep; it was really making it too easy. Jesus said to His disciples, "Except your righteousness shall exceed the right- eousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. " The truth is, it is easier to cleanse the outside of the cup than it is to cleanse the heart. If the Pharisees had recognized that the Law demands not only the observance of external rules but also and primarily mercy and justice and love for God and men, they would not have been so readily satisfied with the measure of their obedi- ence, and the Law would then have fulfilled its great function of being a schoolmaster to bring them to Christ.
