What reading level is Miscellanies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why, God himself has no " author- ity " over us, but in virtue of attributes which he has made common to our nature with his own, and in which we are separated from him in degree and not in kind. And where, after all, is the ultimate " au- thority " of our religion to be found ? Who will show us the real seat of the " primitive Christianity" of which all disciples are in quest ? Shall we take the first four centuries, and interpret the concurrent tones of their voices into the certain oracle of... God ? Not so, you say ; for the writers of that period were full of the errors prevailing around them : and they themselves refer us to an anterior generation, as im- parting legitimacy to the doctrines which they teach.
THEODORE PARKER'S DISCOURSE OF RELIGION. 211 Shall we go, then, to that earlier generation, and abide by the words of the Apostolic age ? Scarcely this either, you will say ; for the marks are too plain that there is no unerring certainty here : the Apostles themselves were not without their differences ; and even their unanimity could mistake, for they con- fessedly taught the near approach of the end of the world.
