What reading level is The Pleroma: An Essay On the Origin of Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
witness to an older tradition. The severity with which the preservation of the Mosaic law is insisted upon is modified, however, by the words "Till all be fulfilled." It is not impossible that this second clause in the sentence, "till all be fulfilled," is an addition made by a Gentile Christian scribe, with the intention of soft- ening the meaning of this sentence. Paul claimed that the law was fulfilled in Christ, and for this reason it need no longer be observed by the Gentiles. Paul's argum...ents appealed to the Gentiles and they no longer felt bound to obey the Mosaic law, so the scribe by adding the clause "till all be fulfilled" reminds his readers of the Pauline doctrine that in spite of the acknowledged divinity of the Mosaic law it was no longer in force since it had been fulfilled in Christ; but in inserting this clause, "till all be fulfilled," he forgot to cancel the other statement which it was intended to replace, "till heaven and earth shall pass away"; and so we have here a double condition, one which reflects the original meaning, the other, the new interpretation put on it.
