What reading level is [calvinism : Six Stone-Lectures] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To fear God, and to bid for the favours of Fortune, seemed to him as irreconcilable as fire and water.
Entirely different objections were entertained against Theatre-going. In itself there is nothing sinful in fiction ; — the power of the imagination is a precious gift of 94 CALVINISM AND Ts-FLIGION.
God Himself. Neither is there any special evil in dramatic imagination. How highly did Milton appreciate Shakes- peare's Drama, and did not he himself write in dramatic form? Nor did the evil lie i...n public theatrical repre- sentations, as such. Public performances were given for all the people at Geneva, in the Market Place, in Calvin's time, and w^ith his approval. No, that which offended our ancestors was not the comedy or tragedy, nor should have been the opera, in itself, but the moral sacrifice vv'hich as a rule was demanded of actors and actresses, for the amusement of the public. A theatrical troop, in those days especially, stood, morally, rather low. This low moral standard resulted partly from the fact that the constant and ever-changing presentation of the character of another person, finally hampers the moul- ding of your personal character; and partly because our modern Theatres, unlike the Greek, have introduced the presence of women on the stage, the prosperity of the Theatre being too often gauged by the measure in which a woman jeopardizes the most sacred treasures God entrusts to her, her stainless name, and irre- proachable conduct.
