What reading level is Christianity And Islam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Common to both religions is the condemnation of the exaction of interest and monetary speculation, which the middle ages regarded as usury. Islam, as usual, gives this Christian idea the form of a saying enounced by Muhammed: " He who^^e^ulates in grain for forty days, grinds and bakes- it and gives it to the poor, makes an offering unaccept- able to God. " " He who raises prices to Muslims (by speculation) will be cast head downwards by God into the hottest fire of hell. " Many similar traditi...ons fulminate CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM against usury in the widest sense of the word. These prohibitions were circumvented in practice by deed of gift and exchange, but none the less the free development —of commercial enterprise was hampered by these fetters which modern civilisation first broke. Enterprise was thus confined to / ^agriculture under these circumstances both foi\ Christianity and Islam, and economic life in either case became "mediaeval" in outward appearance.
Methods of making profit without a pro^ portional expenditure of labour were the particular objects of this aversion, jj Manual labour was highly esteemed both in the East and West] A man's first duty was to support himself by the work of his own hands, a duty proclaimed, as we know, from the apostolic age onwards.
