What reading level is The Religion of Ancient Palestine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
107 sq, 94 THE PANTHEON other writers salute Ishtar (or Astarte)-Washur, the governor of Taanach, with: May Addu, or may the gods preserve thy life, Ahijah (?) invokes ' the lord of the gods/ In the course of his letter he asks whether there is still lamentation for the lost cities or have they been recovered, and continues : ' there is over my head some one (who is) over the cities; see, now, whether he will do good with thee ; further, if he shows anger, they will be con- founded, and the vic...tory will be mighty.' It is not clear whether these words refer to the divine Pharaoh or to a deity, the supreme god whom he invokes. If the latter view be correct, it is diffi- cult to decide whether the reference be to the Sun-god, patronised by the ruling powers (whether Egyptian or Hittite), or the great Addu who would be quite in keeping with the allusions to war and victory. Some, however, would recognise a Providence, or, from their interpretation of the writer's name, Yahweh himself. But a single tablet has little evidential value and we can merely mention the possibilities.
