What reading level is The Origins of Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
4. 5, 6. A Adv. Prax. 3. 13.
xv MONTANISM 195 there was the greatest difficulty in applying tKe rule to the Montanists. How could it be said that these also were convicted by their fruits ?
Some said that no true prophet would accept payment. There is some truth in this. A clairvoyant who holds a seance, answers questions, and charges for admission, is clearly not an oracle of God. But even prophets must live ; and fees, free but customary alms, regular ecclesiastical allowances, run into one a...nother, and are not easily dis- tinguished. The case of the Prophet is analogous to that of the Priest.
Some again maintained that a prophet ought not to speak in ecstasy. 1 But St. Paul certainly saw visions in trance, and the same thing is true of St. Peter. Li, was argued again that the Montanist ecstasy was parecstasy, simulated, that is to say, or artificially induced. There have been in- stances of this. Some of the heathen seers helped them- selves into their trances by means of the fumes of hot springs, and there have been plenty of impostors in ancient and in modern times.
