What reading level is Reasons for the Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

(13) It is stated in the book of Joshua that the whole land had been conquered before Joshua's death. But, in the first part of the book of Judges, we find that new mili- tary combinations had to be made to enable the various tribes to subdue their enemies and secure possession of their allotments. The complete subjugation of the land did not take place until the days of David. The above is a brief outline of a few of the many lit- erary phenomena in the Hexateuch demanding explana- tion. All e...fforts to do this upon the assumption that Moses wrote the Pentateuch have been sad failures. The conditions require a new treatment which the Higher Criticism claims to be able to give successfully. It shows that the discrepancies and variations, together with misplacement of much of the text, arose mainly from efforts to create a composite w^ork by joining together parts of four documents. These documents were written in different places, at widely-separated periods, and for various purposes. To demonstrate this composite char- acter of the Hexateuch, the critics analyze it into its older sources by collecting the scattered parts of the documents from their composite setting and restoring the original documents more or less completely to their proper form.
