RazorEngine and parsing physical view files always causes exception

I have the following RazorEngine call:

public class RazorEngineRender
{
    public static string RenderPartialViewToString(string templatePath, string viewName, object model)
    {            
        string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Path.Combine(templatePath, viewName));
        string renderedText = Razor.Parse(text, model);
        return renderedText;
    }
}

This is called from:

_emailService.Render(TemplatePath, "Email.cshtml", new { ActivationLink = activationLink });

I also have this view file (email.cshtml):

    <div>
      <div>
            Link: <a href="@Model.ActivationLink" style="color:#666" target="_blank">@Model.ActivationLink</a>
      </div>
    </div>

When the call to Razor.Parse() occurs, I always get a: Unable to compile template. Check the Errors list for details.

The error list is:

error CS1061: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'ActivationLink' and no extension method 'ActivationLink' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found 

I've tried everything under the sun, including trying a concrete type as opposed to anonymous type, declaring the @Model line at the top of the view file but no luck. I'm wondering if the library is at fault or definately me?

By the way, the razorengine I am referring to is available here at codeplex: RazorEngine
