What reading level is A History of New England Theology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its active nature and its motive force are more fully brought out by the assertion that all sin is selfishness. As these theologians tried to reduce virtue to a simple act, so they aimed to find one simple exercise of soul which should include all sin. Over against benevolence in which they found all virtue they set selfishness in which all sin is to be found. Selfishness is that self-love that gives self the first place. It is not the self-love that gives us an interest in the affairs of the w...orld, nor that which results from the love of being in general, but the self-love which would subordinate all else to its own gratification. Of self-love thus understood, Hopkins says ; " It is in its whole nature, and in every degree of it, enmity against God. * * * This is, therefore, the fruitful source of every exercise and act of im- Eiety and rebellion against God, and contempt of im that ever was or can be." ^ This view of sin, that it is selfishness and that it is the quality of an act not of a state, is the deci- dedly prevalent view in New England; exceptions, or apparent exceptions, will be noticed hereafter.
