What reading level is Josephus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the Mosaic law is the rule of written reason is the main theme, and it is illustrated by the story of the martyrs during the persecution of Antio- chus Epiphanes, whence the book takes its title. In particular, the author points to the ethical significance underlying the dietary laws, of which he says in a remarkable passage : When we long for fishes and fowls and fourfooted ani- mals and every kind of food that is forbidden to us by the Law, it is through the mastery of pious reason that ...we abstain from them. For the affections and appetites are restrained and turned into another direction by the sobriety of the mind, and all the movements of the body are kept in check by pious reason.
Again, of the Law as a whole he says : It teaches us temperance, so that we master our pleas- ures and desires, and it exercises us in fortitude, so that we willingly undergo every toil. And it instructs us in justice, so that in all our behavior we give what is due, and it teaches us to be pious, so that we worship the only living God in the manner becoming His greatness.
