What reading level is Christianity And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The contemplation of the world apart from religious influence tends inevitably to pessimism. History so seen is truly nothing but " the record of the crimes, the follies and the misfortunes of CHRISTIAMTY AND HISTORY 75 mankind. " It leads to an external view of human life, and promotes an unreal simplicity in our catagories of motives. It treats men too much on a level, for to its view are not apparent the finer influences and the higher aims. In the development of human life such an abstract ...method substitutes anatomy for psychology and seeks to analyse the mechanism and institutions instead of realising the spirit of natural life. Only in so far as we include in our survey the eternal mystery-play of the gospe^ and its appeal to the human heart, shall we gather hope instead of despair from the spectacle. Only so can we catch the glimpses of romance behind the sordid and squalid representation of ofreed and selfishness which is too often in the foreground of our picture ; only so is it possible even in the spectacle of shipwrecked nations, and iieeting glories to discern the true dignity of man's destiny and the splendour of his un- dying aspirations, for only so through the twiliofht of social insincerities and individual o iniquities shall there dawn for the patient watcher the vision and the wonder of the past.
