What reading level is Mysticism Its True Nature And Value With a Translation of the Mystical Theo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, during his residence at Rome he must have witnessed the pro- PLOTINUS 153 scripiion and persecution of Christians under Decius, and the admission of Christianity to the privileges of a religio licita by his pupil Gallienus. He can, therefore, have been ignorant neither of the exclusiveness of the Christian religion, nor of the influence it was able to exert over both those within and those without its pale. He seems, in point of fact, to have disregarded Christianity altogether ; he w...as neither a convert, like Victorinus a century after him, nor an opponent, like his disciple Porphyry. Yet he must have in some fashion deliberately rejected Christianity; it cannot have escaped his notice. But the reason why such an aninia naturaliter Christiana should have resisted the attraction of a faith which had so much in common with his own system cannot even be conjectured.
We can only choose between two theories of the cause of his affinity to the mystical theologians of the Church. The first would represent him as affected by the deliberate approximation to Christianity which the later Neoplatonism undoubtedly exhibited, and which we can hardly be mistaken in regarding as a 1 54 MYSTICISM desperate effort on the part of Paganism to fight the growing power of the Church on its own ground with its own weapons.
