What reading level is Inaugural Lecture of the Wilde Lecturer in Natural Comparative Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* At what remote period in the evolution of the Hellenic mind this principle began in force, what were the influences that fostered and strengthened it, in what various ways it shaped the religious history of the Hellenic people, are questions that I may be able to treat more in detail in a future course. But there are two important pheno- mena that I will indicate now, which we must associate with it, and which afford us an illuminating point of view from which we may contrast the Greek world ...and the Oriental. In the first place, the anthropomorphic prin- ciple, combining with an artistic faculty the highest that the world has known, produced in Greece a unique form of idolatry ; and, in the second place, in consequence chiefly of this idolatry, the purely Hellenic religion re- mained almost incapable of that which we call mysticism.
Now, much remains still to be thought out, especially for those interested in Mediterranean culture, concerning the influence of idolatry on religion ; and not only the history, but the psychology of religion, must note and estimate the influence of religious art.
