What reading level is The Christian Reconstruction of Modern Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Above all human praise indeed is their vision of history as the unfolding of a redemptive purpose, their derivation of law and institution from the eternal righteousness, by which alone national life is to be judged; their passion of social righteous- ness, their founding of national strength and well-being upon conditions of common life, ethically estimated; their hate of luxury and exploitation as disruptive of the state; their inclusion of compassion and love in social morality; their prefer...ence of the many to the few, of the weak to the strong. These principles are constitutive of the state, universally indispensable, and of inexhaustible application. But practical statesmen the prophets were not. They confused spiritual ideals with practical considerations neces- sarily relative and transient. Their intrusive solu- tions of historic issues miscarried, because they took into account only aims not of the earthly order and THE SEMITIC PRINCIPLE 149 forces separate from the secular. Their immediate application of transcendent spiritual considerations to national exigencies was impossible.
