What reading level is Oriental Fragments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
IN the account of the nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum, the circumstance of coming down, or going down to that city from Cana, where Jesus then was, is mentioned three times. The testimony of modern tra- vellers proves, in a vast number of instances, how accurately the descriptions, or incidental remarks of the Sacred Writers, correspond with the geographical situation of the places mentioned, and with the present appearance of the country. This is a very strong argu- ment in favour of ...the authenticity of the Scriptures an evidence that they were ac- tually written in the countries where the THE SACKED WRITERS. 87 scene is laid, and that the transactions re- lated were described by eye-witnesses. When Dr. Clarke was at Cana of Galilee *, he was forcibly struck by the correspondence be- tween the situation of that place, and the expression of coming down, so repeatedly used by the Evangelist. The whole route from Cana being, in fact, a continued descent towards Capernaum.
The deplorable state of ignorance and superstition in which this intelligent traveller found the present inhabitants of the Holy Land, and the absurd traditions they related concerning those places which are the most interesting to pilgrims, determined him and his companions to make the Scriptures them- selves their guide through the country ; and he acknowledges, with delight, the internal evidence of their accuracy, which was thus obtained.
