What reading level is A Talk On the Psalms book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many a lesson, which if clothed in the current religious phraseology would have fallen on listless ears, has come down to us ar- rayed in the similitudes of Nature, possessing a charm which insures it a permanent place in the treasury of the world's best thought. This love for Nature is no doubt responsible in large measure for that singu- lar simplicity and artlessness of style which marks the Psalms. There is no artificial painting, no attempt to produce an effect; but rather a spontaneity wh...ich lends to these ancient lyrics a grace and an ease but rarely found in the poetry of any age. And yet, with 9 all their simplicity, paradoxical as it may sound, the Psalms are noted for their richness of style and their frequent rhetorical splendor. The language is often highly figurative. Take this striking simile from the one hundred and thirty-third Psalm; "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to- gether in unity ! It is like a precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard ; that went down to the skirts of his garments.
