What reading level is The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia And Their Place in the Plan of the Apo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The noblest feature of Greek city life was its zeal and provision for education. The minute carefulness with which those Asian-Greek cities legislated and provided for educa- tion — watching over the young, keeping them from evil, graduating their physical and mental training to suit their age, moving them on from stage to stage — rouses the deepest admiration in the scholar who laboriously spells out and completes the records on the broken stones on which 136 XI. The Cities of Asia they are wr...itten, and at the same time convinces him how vain is mere law to produce any healthy education. It is pathetic to think how poor was the result of all those wise and beautiful provisions.
The literature of the age has almost utterly perished ; but the extremely scanty remains, along with the Roman imitations of it, do not suggest that there was anything really great in it, though much cleverness, brilliance, and sentimentality. Perhaps Theocritus, who comes at the beginning of the age, might rank higher ; but the great master of bucolic poetry, the least natural form of poetic art, can hardly escape the charge of artificiality and senti- mentality.
