What reading level is Essays And Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And in fact, as you and I have not time to be studying a book written, in Hebrew and Greek all our lives, we should be under the thumb of these gentlemen, who say they know all about it, and some of them even say they have a special commission from God to tell us about it, and we are not to listen to any one else. This is plainly a mere dream. There is no great harm in talking of a revelation, but it means nothing in the world but our own common sense and reason, dealing with the circumstances ...of our lives.
All these ideas, — compensation, rewards and punishments, God's commands in the Bible, the authority of the clergy, — are closely connected together. They are all fancies that men have had, just as though they were children, and being children, knew that they must be treated like children.
Children do things because they are told, until they have learnt to behave themselves. And so men had to learn to behave themselves, only they had to fancy that there was a parent or schoolmaster looking after them.
