What reading level is The Bible in English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We mean, in other words, that Shake- speare seems to be at home in the Bible, like one in modern days, who, having read the Bible from child- hood, thinks naturally in terms of the Bible, and speaks and writes with recurrent Biblical tropes and illustrations. When Hamlet says, "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will" ***** "There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow, " we see that the author has easy and friendly con t versance with the Bible. Its language... comes readilj to the tip of his pen. These are not labored quota- tions, but easy and felicitous examples of how the thought of Scripture affects the imagination of men when they speak and write.
From the abundance of Shakespeare's references to the Bible there is warrant for saying that his mind was fairly saturated with the Scripture. Whether he was in the full sense a Christian believer, cannot be de- cided from what he has written. His constant use of the Bible to enforce and illustrate his thoughts argues that he believed at least in its literary power.
