What reading level is The Story of the Bible book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The best minds were but groping in the dark, seeking for light, but finding only a twilight, in which they mistook ideas for things. With the development of science another type of intellectual man is evolving, to whom appeal only those things which can be proved to be facts. It is this attitude of mind alone which can find truth and at the same time realize that it exists not in the imagination, but in experience. The method of inquiry which relies solely on facts yearly gathers strength, and ...is sternly inimical to superstition and the creeds which originate therefrom.
To the common people, whose minds could not soar to pre-scientific flights of fancy, the " Logos " was unsatisfying, save perhaps for the magic it denoted. They required the human-god idea. But such is the superstition of ignorance that even a popular hero needed to be invested with something mysterious ; hence the surrounding myths of virgin-birth and the like.
The two conceptions are combined in the Christian faith, the one being represented in the Gospels, the other in the epistles attributed to Paul and his fellow apostles.
