What reading level is The Post Apostolic Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He says that the Apostolic tradition was preserved in the Roman Church, not by an infallible pope, not by a successor of St. Peter, not by a Vicar of Christ, not by anybody living in Rome at all, but by the Christians from abroad, the faithful on every side. That was why one might use the Roman tradition as being just as good as Catholic tradition, simply be- cause visitors coming in from all quarters made it really to be a Catholic tradition. And this, be it remembered, was not simply a tradit...ion of what Christians had always believed, but of what Jesus Christ had called them to believe.
2. In opposition to Gnostic heresy, which taught that the material creation was essentially evil, and that the only way to save men from sin was to re- move them forever out of the flesh, Irenseus was led to dwell with special love and reverence on the doctrine of the Incarnation of the Son of God. 2 So 1 Tbis phrase is worth noticing. It is not one of moral duty, "Every Church must do this or be wrong, " but one of pure me- chanical necessity, "Every Church has got to do this and cannot help itself.
