What reading level is The Bible As Good Reading book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You must not, then, expect to find in the New Testament tales of striplings slay- ing giants, or of Jewish generals leading for- lorn hopes on to victory. Quite different is the type of hero in this later age. As David is the dominant man in the Old Testament, so St. Paul overtops his fellows in the New. In this Roman citizen (as he was proud to call himself) you have a hero for all time. Let us consider his case.
47 THE BIBLE AS GOOD READING Here we have a young Pharisee, a gentle- man, a man ...of good family and of some posi- tion in the world, with the straitest of Jewish traditions behind him. He has a sound educa- tion; he is well grounded in Greek philosophy and Roman law. His abilities are those of a man in a million; a brilliant future is before him. With the fury of a zealot we find him upholding the old church by persecuting the new. In those days religion was no mere fad. It was a matter of freedom or imprisonment; often, one of life or death. And yet, at the bidding of the heavenly voice this young man of Tarsus deliberately turns his back on his rosy future and casts in his lot with a despised and feeble sect whose leaders are peasants and illiterate fishermen.
