What reading level is The Starting Place of Truth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is natural to suppose that St. Luke derived his mention from the Septuagint of Genesis, but if so, whence did the Septuagint get it ? Now the Greek of Gen. Xi. 12, 13, gives to Cainan precisely the same ages as those ascribed to Shelah, namely 130 at the birth of his son, and 330 more years to his death. There is nothing unlikely in the father and son dying at the same age, but it is hardly possible that they should also have been exactly the same age when the first son was born. May it not ...then be that the Genesis mentions of Cainan were derived from the Gospel ? Suppose that in the first instance, by a scribal error " the son of Cainan " was introduced into St. Luke iii. 36 from v. 38, then a Christian copyist, finding 48 The Starting Place of Truth the name in the Gospel genealogy, might have thought it advisable to insert it in the Genesis genealogies ; and in c. N, as no other ages were on record, simply copied those which undoubtedly belong to Arphaxad's son. As the oldest manu- script of the Septuagint only dates from the 4th century of the Christian era, there is nothing impossible in this supposition.
