What reading level is Christianity And the Social Crisis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE WORK OF SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION 155 for years in which roof and drainage are defective, and if his children are perpetually sick in consequence, it is criminal for him to let things run on because some day it may happen that he will move.
In the preceding chapter we discussed the attitude of Hostility to primitive Christianity to the Empire and the civilization ^nd i t pir ' organized in it. 1 We saw that the hope of the Lord's coming civilization, necessarily involved the hope that the Empir...e and its social life would come to an end. The feelings inherited from Judaism and its apocalyptic literature, and the feelings generated by the persecution of the Christians, united in creating a clouded atmosphere of fear and distrust through which imperial Rome loomed threatening and detestable.
This feeling received a strong moral reinforcement by the awakened Christian conscience which felt keenly the immo- rality of heathen society, the lasciviousness of its pleasures, the unnaturalness of its ornaments and luxuries, the greed of its traffic, the factiousness and hatred prevalent in private and public life.
