What reading level is The Challenge of the Present Crisis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Christian's definite and unrelenting hos- tility to that international paganism from which war inevitably comes, we shall deal with later. But if, in the present stage of human society, moral values are at stake which ruthless violence attacks, we cannot remain outside the critical problem thus thrust upon us as though we lived in another and a better world. We must 42 THE PRESENT CRISIS help to meet the crisis, with all its wretched necessities, as sharers in a mutual re- sponsibility whic...h no one rightly may evade. To do anything else is to shoulder off on others the burden of meeting life's harsh and unideal emergencies. It may even mean that we sit safely in the lee of the men who use massed force against massed force for righteousness' sake, not because they like to do it but because it has to be done, and that we credit what is really our ignoble individualism with being a fine service of ideals. A noted English pacifist said to the writer that in the present estate of the world he judged that England could have done nothing else in 1914 save to go to war, but that as for himself, he was a conscientious ob- jector and would have no part in it.
