What reading level is The Religion of Israel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And when He came who gathered into Himself all the significance of that people from which He sprang, He came as the Supreme Revealer of God to man, and bore upon Him the burden of the world's sin.
CHAPTER XI THE BIRTH OF JUDAISM In 536 Cyrus, into whose hands the Babylonian empire had fallen, fulfilled the predictions of the Second Isaiah and gave the Jews permission to return to Palestine. But the response to this permission fell far short of the prophet's glowing forecast. A fresh generation ...had sprung up, which knew Jerusalem only by name, and the power with which it appealed to their imagination, however great it may have been, was too faint to spur them to the worldly sacrifice involved in leaving Babylon, or snap the ties which bound them to the land of their birth. Yet those who remained behind exerted and were destined to exert a powerful influence on the Judaism of the future, for it was in Babylonia that the final codification of the Law seems to have taken place. On its return the feeble band that had come from Babylon found itself thwarted by the hostility of " the people of the land, " whose offer to join in the rebuilding of the Temple it had repulsed.
