What reading level is Lectures On the Church And the Sacraments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Certainly no Church can go on doing so with its creative spiritual wealth. Here the form can never be inde- pendent of the content. To abjure entirely Church authority and the solemn tradition of the worshipping dead in worship or doctrine is to slip down into a heap of sand. No authority, no Church. Loose procedure means slack belief. And slack belief means loss of public influence for the Kingdom of God.
It is a mistake to think that a viscous belief appeals to the great public, or that mere ...mysticism is purer worship. Cer- tainly no such sprawling and shambling type of Church can cope with the Catholicism of the day. That can only be done by a greater Catholicism, and not by a casual individual- ism. Without it the Church sinks either to be ruled by the world or to be eager to rule it ; and in either case it is spiritual death. The Reformers found a Church dead one way ; but THE CHURCH AND HISTORY 75 they replaced it by a Church which, on the Lutheran side at least, was in another century dead in the other way.
