What reading level is Notes On Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Jews were either not subject to the evapora- tion of faith — ^the occasional coldness, flatness and loss of the sense of religion, from which 55 Digitized by VjOOQIC NOTES ON RELIGION the mediaeval Christian suffered— or else the Jews had philosophy enough to wait quietly till faith returned, and artistic sensibility enough to refrain from writing about them- selves in the meanwhile. Even their peniten- tial Psalms are unselfconscious. The eye of the sinner is on God, rather than on himself....
The mediaeval Christian, however, is a vale- tudinarian.
The mediaeval sentiment in regard to pain and suffering, to repentance and purgation is tinctured with excess. The desire to ex- perience emotion leads in his case to some- thing very like a disease, to which I can find no analogy in Israel nor in Christ. We know that suffering is generally involved in moral advance, that God is often the celestial sur- geon, as Stevenson says. This is one of the great facts of life. But for us to clutch the knife, and hug pain is an idea which I cannot find in the New Testament nor in the Old.
