What reading level is Practical Theology a Neglected Field in Theological Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Church history, instead of being studied primarily for positive practical ends, could now be critically exam- ined, in the endeavor to discover the facts, whatever these facts might be. The way was open for the transfer of church history from the realm of the practical disciplines to that of the historical disciplines. It is true that the growth of the historical spirit was slow. For three centuries history was too often employed for dogmatic and polemic purposes. But even in this distorted use... of history, the professed aim of the Protestant was entirely different from that of the Catholic traditionalist. 14 Theoreti- cally, for Protestants, history has become a scientific discipline, which can yield prac- tical results only as it is supplemented by a wise and intelligent interpretation. Instead of being a direct source of piety, as for Catholics, it has become an indirect source. The pragmatic method of teaching history has today very generally given way to an inductive study of sources in the attempt to ascertain the facts, whether these facts yield the practical lessons which we desire or not.
