What reading level is The Christian Man, the Church And the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For Bismarck they were ever inseparably bound together; nothing but religious belief would have reconciled him to a form of gov- ernment so repugnant to natural human reason.
' If I were not a Christian, I would be a Repub- lican,' he said many years later; in Christianity he found the only support against revolution and so- ciahsm. He was not the man to be beguiled by the Church and the War 69 romantic sentiment; he was not a courtier to be blinded by the pomp and ceremony of royalty; he was t...oo stubborn and independent to acquiesce in the arbitrary rule of a single man. He could only obey the king if the king himself held his authority as the representative of a higher power. Bismarck was accustomed to follow out his thought to its conclusions. To whom did the King owe his power? There was only one alternative: to the people or to God. If to the people, then it was a mere question of convenience whether the monarchy were continued in form ; there was little to choose between a constitutional monarchy where the king was appointed by the people and controlled by Par- liament, and an avowed republic.
