What reading level is Sermons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This public policy, however, has been SERMON VI. 141 throughout encountered by strong currents of feehng from an opposite direction — a feeling suspicious of, If not hostile to, Intellect — a feel- ing which has more than once attained embodi- ment and u...tterance, but which, when not uttered. Is still present beneath, more or less strongly, just in proportion to the revivals of the religious consciousness, whether those re- vivals originate In the Puritanical or In the Catholic element.
