What reading level is Reconstruction And the Renewal of Life Three Lay Sermons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We might almost say that the creed has two different meanings a meaning for life and a meaning for the intellect. Only, this would be to draw too absolute a distinction; for intellect is one expression of life, and the life of the spirit is never without understanding. But the intellect tends to go its own way and to refine upon its notions until they lose all touch with life as we experience it. These refinements may have some significance for the rare theological reasoners in whom thinking se...ems to have usurped the place of living; but they lose all meaning in the hands of the followers who repeat or confute the shibboleths of their predecessors. Thus theology outruns religion, and dogma takes the place of faith.
FAITH 31 It is easy to emphasise overmuch the intellectual side of faith, and the Church has suffered from the tendency. Christian doctrine is made into a system which cannot be entered by those un- trained in intellectual subtleties, however deep their Christian experience; and, as an offset to this, people are encouraged to think that learning a formula is a necessary requisite for religion, if not a sufficient substitute for it.
