What reading level is Religious Optimism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God; but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. ' " Lulce 21:1-4 CHAPTER VIII Open-Handed Religion THE OLD time religion was not generous. There was, to be sure, a certain amount of indiscrimi- nate alms giving, but very little real and intelligent generosity. This lack in the past of open-handed helpfulness so common today, was due to many causes, only two of which need be mentioned. Wealth in the form of ...money was not abundant, neither was it widely distributed. Moreover the appeal of the church was individualistic. The social appeal and outlook of modern Christianity is essentially a growth of the past fifty years.
Church members today are not only giving liber- ally for the support of the local church — it was to this that the old-time giving was largely confined — but they are also called upon to support a score of worthy causes. Besides the church budget proper, a church family is now expected to give to the Sunday School, the Young People's Society, the Ladies' Aid, the Women's Foreign Missionary Society, the Women's Home Missionary Society, the General Home and Foreign Missionary Boards, the sustain- ing and endowment fund of the Church College, the temperance cause, orphanages, hospitals.
