What reading level is Some Aspects of International Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To demand that a Christian nation ought not to claim its rights and to insist upon them is an utterly immoral demand.
3. National morality is necessarily clogged by tradition. It must move slowly, because of the accumulated complexity of the legislative machinery, and the far-reaching relations of each enactment with ancient institutions in- volving innumerable individual cases. The individual is free, as the nation is not, to think out things for himself, to throw off custom and tradition, and... to follow what new Unes of guid- ance appeal to him as right. In this case it is well that the nation is thus hindered. At the present time we have a large number of clever and influential individuals thinking and writing rather wildly. The nation may be far behind the best of these in progressive morality, but INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIANITY 73 at least its immobility is a defense against much dangerous and irresponsible experiment- ing. When men rush at high speed from one phase of morals to another, and write books in advocacy of each phase as they pass through it, it is just as well, for instance, that the marriage laws of England, unsatisfactory and unintelUgent as some of them are, neverthe- less are slow to change.
