What reading level is Desire of the Everlasting Hills: the World Before And After Jesus (Hinges of History) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jesus the Jewish prophet, who accepted the judgment of others that he was their Messiah (and may even have promoted this identification), was executed by the Romans in a manner so hideous that his followers could never forget it. Their subsequent claim that “he is risen” did not fall upon deaf ears but convinced many; and their small Palestinian sect grew into a movement that spread like scattered seeds through the Roman world, taking root especially in urban centers with substantial Jewish popu...lations.
The religion of these adherents, who came to be called “Christians,” appeared at first to be a somewhat kinky variety of Judaism but gradually grew away from orthodox Jewish tenets, not so much in its ethical concerns, which remained focused on characteristically Jewish values of justice, mercy, charity, and brotherhood, but in its innovative theology, which took Jesus to be not only Messiah but Lord of the Universe who sits at God’s right hand. The closer the Christians came to deifying Jesus, the more they tended to alienate the Jews from whom they had sprung.
