What reading level is The Religious Life of Ancient Rome a Study in the Development of Religious Con book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The so-called early Christians are extremely interesting. If we study them sympatheti- cally, we experience the contagion of their inspiration. We may not feel that their mental attitude is altogether healthy, but I venture to say that it was much more healthy in reality, and at the time, than it seems to us at this distance. But for the Christians of the fourth century there is very little to be said. Christianity had conquered. Her followers had obtained imperial pa- tronage and political pow...er. They were now experiencing the relaxing effects of success. They were becoming of the world, worldly. Men had received a beautiful JULIAN CALLED THE APOSTATE 127 religion, and had shown their love of it by their willing- ness to die for it; but when they were asked to live for it, they failed. They had defeated old Roman religion, and it seemed to them that the battle was over. But their greatest struggle was still before them. They were now entering into the period of conflict between the old cul- ture and the new religion.
