What reading level is Idols And Ideals, With An Essay On Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are also traces in this Gospel of controversies which were unknown within four generations after Christ's death. Thus (John viii., 44) Christ is represented as saying of the Devil, " he is a liar and so is his father." Though the Eng^lish version has tried to cover the meaning by turning the sentence into bad grammar and worse sense (" a liar and the father of it ") the original is plain : ij/evarrjs iarl, Kal 6 Trarqp avrov.
Now this notion that the Devil had a father was one of the late...r phases of the Gnostic philosophy. The Demiurge, employed to create the world and then setting up a rival kingdom, was for the first time associated with the Devil, and suggested as his creator, by Marcion, who taught in Rome during the middle of the second century. In other sentences ascribed to Christ the Marcionite idea of an " antithesis " — the demiurgic confronting the divine kingdom — is reflected, but here it reaches the later Archonitic development, the Devil being named as the Son of the Evil Creator (as Christ is of the Good God).
