What reading level is An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If God be the ab- solutely unlimited Being, if there be no existence that is independent of Him, if all reality is com- prehended in Him, where is there room for any such existence that is not a mere shadow and semblance ? The contradiction may be softened and a place apparently found for the Finite, by repre- senting God, not simply as Infinite, but under such notions as 'First Cause' or 'Creator and Governor of the world ' ; but these expedients do not really suffice for the end in view. If f...or example we con- ceive Him as 'creating the world out of nothing, ' we do not by this device escape the dilemma of a Finite which either limits or is suppressed by the Infinite. For by the act of creation either the Creator calls into existence something external to Himself, something absolutely new and which is, so to speak, an addition to His infinitude, and then, neither before nor after the creating act can He be called infinite ; or the created world is not a new existence, an addition to the pre-existing sum of reality — not really an existence different from its source — and then it becomes incapable of any relation to God, seeing it is not distinguish- able from Him.
