What reading level is Select Passages From the Theological Writings of Benjamin Jowett book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One perhaps asks to have the law of cause and effect reconciled with the responsibility of man ; another repeats the favourite theological paradox, ' Why, if God is all-powerful and all-wise, does He permit the existence of evil ? ' I can very well imagine that the theory of the struggle for existence, of which we have heard so much during the last fifteen years, may produce a very painful impression on the minds of unthinking persons, because appearing to them so contradictory to the love of G...od towards all His creatures, ' There is not a sparrow that falls to the ground without your Father. ' The facts or speculations respecting the origin of society, or even of the family, so unlike that Garden of Eden of which our fathers dreamed, are very likely to have a similar effect. These inquiries I mention, not to refute them (they are not to be refuted by the way or in a moment), but simply with one object to show that religious belief is not so easy a matter as it once was, and that this generation is not to be accused of greater irreligion than their predeces- sors because they are unable at once to adjust all these marvellous discoveries and novel inquiries in their true relation to their own traditional belief, or even to see how they can be reconciled with very simple truths of religion and morality.
