What reading level is The Crown of Thorns a Token for the Sorrowing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The picture wears a more lustrous andspiritual beauty.
The Christ of the text, then, --"A man of sorrows, andacquainted with grief, "-has verily lived, for his image hasbeen reflected in the minds of men, and has fastened itselfthere among their most intimate and vivid conceptions. Sorrow, as illustrated in Christ's life, and as interpretedin his scheme of religion, has assumed a new aspect andyields a new meaning. Its garments of heaviness have becometransfigured to robes of light, its crown o...f thorns to adiadem of glory; and often, for some one whom the rich andjoyful of this world pity, --some suffering, struggling, over-shadowed soul, --there comes a voice from heaven, "This is mybeloved son, in whom I am well pleased. " I remark, however, that Christianity does not accomplish thisresult by denying the character of sorrow. It does notrefuse to render homage to grief. The stoic is as far fromits ideal of virtue as the epicurean. The heart of the truesaint quivers at pain, and his eyes are filled with tears.
