What reading level is Religion And Politics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
during: the next thousand years, built up out of the ruins of the Roman Empire a dominion far more wonderful and enduring than the dominion of the Caesars. In the days of her greatness Rome gave the world the Caesars ; and in the days of her decline she established the rule of her popes. And of the two the pope was and is the mightier creation.
As the ancient city of Rome believed that it owed its origin to the favor and intervention of the gods, and therefore was divine, so this new institutio...n within the city traced its origin directly to God. The Bishop of Rome was the direct spiritual suc- cessor and descendant of Peter ; and Peter was the Apostle of Jesus, the Son of God, to whom the Lord had given the keys of the Kingdom of heaven, and upon whom, as upon a rock. He had built His church. It is a matter of indifference whether Peter was ever in Rome or not. It is enough that before the end of the second century the whole Christian church believed that he had been in Rome, and that the Roman church, if it did not owe to him its foun- dation, was nevertheless under his Episcopal rule for the first twenty -five years of its existence.
