What reading level is Missions And Modern Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The passions for revenge and for con- quest, which belong to the lower stages of human development, are made holy in the name of Allah and his Prophet. When Carlyle said that the ques- tion calling for answer in the study of Moham- medanism does not so much concern the use which he made of the sword, but the source from which he got his sword, he silenced for half a century one of the chief lines of attack on the religious value of Islam. None the less, Carlyle's question was not just and faile...d to penetrate the real conditions of THE FUTURE OF RELIGION 1 89 the Prophet's success. Mohammed never acquired a sword. What he did was to win a people with a sword, and ready always to use it, and to give to them the highest and holiest sanction for wielding that sword, while the occasions might remain in all respects similar to those that obtained before the Prophet. Islam in winning converts by force, fol- lows the Koran and has the highest sanction of Mohammed. When Christianity employs the sword, it is untrue to its spirit and in direct antag- onism with the spirit and teaching of its Master.
