What reading level is Ralph Waldo Emerson: the Preacher, And What He Preached book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In such a system as this, priest and service and Bible and sacrament were everything. What- ever undermined them threatened all that men called relig- ion, and seemed a destruction of all hopes for the future.
No wonder, then, that Transcendentalism was looked upon with horror. It said, God is /;/ nature and /;/ man. He is working and speaking all about us to-day. We can meet him and talk with him, face to face, in all the life of the world about us. We need no mediator. Your sacraments and rit...uals are only an incumbrance. Busying ourselves with them is caring for aqueducts and reservoirs that have gone dry, while we overlook living fountains flowing all about us. It made the Bible only a record of something God said in other ages to other men, but no more sacred than what he is saying to those who can hear him to-day.
To believers in the old theories, this was radical and revolu- tionary in the extreme. And in those days the Unitarians were as dependent on texts and miracles as were the Ortho- dox.
