What reading level is The Open Court 29, No.706 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, the expulsion of demons appears in the New Testament as a most remarkable ex- hibition of supernatural power, as a distinctive sign of the divine might of the "new teaching" or teacher. But if "exorcists, Jewish and pagan, were driving out demons of madness and disease at every street corner," then where was the wonder? If everybody was doing it. what impression would it have made, what attention have excited? It seems strange also that classic literature should be practically devoid of ...allusion to such a dominant element of daily life, stranger that the revered Baur should write: "The belief in possession by demons, at least in the form prevailing among the Jews, cannot, it seems, be found in Greek and Roman authors of the time of Philostratus, even as to the Greek religion also the notion of evil demons remained almost wholly foreign" {Apollonius und Christiis, 143). Still more, how amazing that Acts gives no example of such a demon-expulsion, not even in xvi. 18, and that early Christian literature can furnish no example.
