What reading level is Africa And the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All of this Wycliffe saw. The hypocrisy, the hoUowness, of it all, none knew better than he.
He saw the Church dole out its pittance of charity to the hundreds of its poor when it really made paupers by the thousands. He knew that, wittingly or unwittingly, it was 60 Africa and the War making for the degradation of the individual, and he knew, too, that no great landholding, slave-driving institution could be truly repre- sentative of the Christ. Unless the very theory of the divine right of th...e Pope could be under- mined, he saw no hope for the slave. The images in the church, the candlesticks, the pilgrimages to the tombs of saints — all these things came to savor of idolatry to him. He might not have been the real inspirer of the rude rhymes of John Ball, but he certainly sympathized with them. How can we wonder that he recoiled at the idea that any drunken priest could by a word manufacture the body of Christ?
At any rate, he set himself against all the tradition of his age. When he formulated his theory of Church and State, the religious dig- nitaries frowned.
