This book presents a collection of biographies detailing the lives of Jewish individuals who converted to Christianity. Written in 1909, the text reflects the formal and academic tone typical of religious literature from the early twentieth century. The vocabulary is sophisticated and occasionally archaic, while the sentence structures are long and complex. Readers will encounter dense arguments and historical references. This work is a demanding read because it requires a strong grasp of theological terminology and nineteenth century formal English prose.

Questions about this book

What level of English do I need for this book?

The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
