What reading level is The Christian Examiner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Edkins keeps himself modestly out of sight, but it is quite evident that he knows of what he is speaking, and that he is fit to treat a theme so difiicult as the religious condition and prospects of China. His views on this subject differ in several important particulars from those of other writers. The Chinese, in his judgment, have three proper national religions, — the Confucian, the Buddhist, and the Taouist, each representing different tendencies of mind and feeling, each equally divine an...d worthy the people, and all together believed in by a large portion of the nation. The first of these is the moral religion, the second is the metaphyseal or spiritual, and the third is the sensucU religion. He traces the origin and progress of these different religions, and explains their systems of worship, their political relations, their influence upon literature and social life, their ideas of Grod, of duty, of sin and redemption, and of immortality and ^ture judgment ; illustrates the Confucian tenet of the worship of an- cestoif^, the Buddhist notions of transmigration and of ^ Nirwana," and the Taouist deification of the stars ; and altogether gives a much better view of the Chinese religious state than we have found in other writers.
