What reading level is The Beginning of Things in Nature And in Grace Or a Brief Commentary On Genesi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Adam's nature became corrupt, and his de- scendants inherited his corrupt nature. Accord- ing to evolution, man was imperfect before Adam and imperfect since. The Fall came upon him, says Driver, "when he was immature in intellect and culture" (Gen. , p. 57). We at once feel that the Fall, which was really a test of man's obe- dience and a punishment for disobedience, came upon him when he was unprepared to meet it. This is usually met by talking about the Fall as if it were a step in man's upw...ard progress and development.
The claim for the scriptural narrative, there- fore, is, (1) That it is the only adequate explana- tion for the moral, religious and immortal nature which exists in man. (2) That the Fall or cor- rupt tendency in man now, can only be explained by the same authority which states his original condition and the departure from it. (3) Pro- gressive development in the race, especially in its corrupt state, is due, not to innate forces in man, but to divine grace and power working in and with Revelation, and especially in the gift of his Son.
