What reading level is A Short History of Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had he lived to form his own judgment instead of merely assimilating the ideas of his Neo-Platonic teachers he would be in a fair way to frame a better philosophy of life than either the polytheistic or the Christian.
Such a philosophy had been left by Epictetus, to name no other ; and Julian's passion for rites and sacrifices was really a falling below pagan wisdom and ethics current in his time, as his facile belief in myths was a falling below the pagan rationalism set forth a little later b...y Macrobius, and not unknown in Julian's day.
No less unworthy of the best pagan thought was his affectation of cynic uncleanliness an inverted foppery likely to have passed with youth. A few years must have taught him that men were not to be regenerated M 162 FOURTH CENTURY by pagan creeds any more than by Christian ; and to his laws for the reform of administration he might have added some for the reform of culture. Dying in his prime, he has formed a text for much Christian rhetoric to the effect that he had dreamed a vain dream.
