What reading level is A Letter to Rev Ezra S Gannett Occasioned By His Tract On Atonement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Your last objection to the atonement is thus express- ed : " III. It remains for me to shou\ that the prevalent view of the atonement is pernicious ; by which I mean, that it is suited to injure the moral and religious characters of those, by whom it is embraced. I do not intend to point a sneer or a censure at its advocates, as if I thought them less moral or religious than others. But I must maintain, that their doctrine is suited to make them so, and that they neutralize its effect by virtua...lly disbelieving it when it comes in contact with social duty. I wish to speak only of its legitimate influence, of its effect upon a mind which should give itself up to its power. This effect must be bad, prejudicial alike to devotion and vir- tue. " p. 25.
Some will think that this passage, though couched in mild expressions, is not as modest as might have been expected; and yet no one can feel offended by it, because the whole Christian church, in all ages, falls under its reprehension. The only concern which we have with the quotation, is, to ascertain whether the tendency of the popular views of the atonement, is really pernicious.
