What reading level is Religion a Criticism And a Forecast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man may be convinced with equal assur- ance that he is a poached egg or a saint; that he has a mission to assassinate the King or to redeem the world ; that he is eternally damned or eternally saved ; that he has had a vision of the Virgin Mary or a vision of Nirvana. I do not suggest that there is no distinction in truth and value between the various [40] REVELATION ideas that may thus be imposed by moments of emo- tional excitement upon different minds — that the visions, say, of St. Franci...s are not more important than those of Marie Alacoque, or the conversion of St. Paul than that of a dipsomaniac in the Salvation Army. But it is indisputable that the test of validity must be sought somewhere else than in the sense of certainty felt by the person who claims to have had the revelation. In other words, the truth of a doc- trine supposed to be thus conveyed, or the goodness of a moral intuition, must be sifted, before they can be accepted, by the ordinary critical processes; and, except as the result of such a sifting, performed de- liberately and again and again, in calm and normal moments, no man who is at once religious, honest, and intelligent, will or ought to accept the deliver- ances of any so-called revelation of this type.
