What reading level is The Religious And Philosophies of the East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But we must not forget that, however unsuitable this form of writing may seem to us now, it had quite a different effect when recited on Arabian soil twelve centuries ago. Both style and matter were necessarily new to the Prophet's hearers. Let it be agreed that many passages in the Koran are awkwardly composed, that the iterations are tiresome, that the rhymed prose ambles along in a jingling fashion now and then, these defects of language will hardly surprise us if we always bear in mind that... beginnings are difficult, and that, however much poetry might have been written in Arabic before Mohammed's time, the Koran was the first prose work. Besides, if Mohammed's primary aim was to persuade and convince, as we must admit that it was, we cannot deny that that aim has been achieved on a scale undreamt of even by the Prophet himself.
Weil would divide the Koran chronologically into three distinct periods ; but it is not easy, even with the help of Rodwell's notes, to draw any sharp lines of demarcation between the divisions.
