What reading level is Lectures And Sermons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are to remember that religious senti- ment, like sentiment in general, has two quite dis- tinct phases. A noble work of art, for instance, — a great poem, a great piece of music, — may affect us to the point of enthusiastic admiration and inci- dentall}' touch even deeper feelings simply through its high artistic power, irrespective of the ideas it was meant to convey; the ideas in such cases are merely a skeleton, which sentiment covers with its own forms of beauty and life. But, if the ide...as 28 THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM and the excellence of the art both are able to strike responsive chords in our mental organism, then we have a correspondingly larger satisfaction. And this unity in an enlarged result is especially im- portant in religious usage. Without it we may have the piety of an aesthetic ritualism and the cherished associations of traditional and liturgical forms of worship, but not that profoundest reality of worship which is in spirit and in truth. And this phrase, "in spirit and in truth, " well ex- presses the desired combination of sentiment and thought which should be sought in religion as a preserver of sincerity.
