What reading level is The Elements of Christian Doctrine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this it is sufficient that he was created with perfect faculties of knowledge, so that all the knowledge he should acquire would be the natural consequence of his creation.
The question whether man ever existed in a state of pure nature is one that we may put aside. We know him in his original state only as endowed with super- natural gifts. These are an addition to his natural faculties. He would be true man without them ; he may lose them and remain true man. They are represented by the a...llegory of the Tree of Life. Employed in the record of creation, this allegory is resumed in the Revelation of St. John, where it is connected with the new creation of the new heaven and the new earth. 1 The meaning of it is thus determined. The fruit of the Tree of Life is that supernatural grace which raises man beyond his own natural powers. Such grace was freely bestowed upon him in his original state.
We know by experience and by revelation the effect of grace in man as he now is ; the effect upon original man is less definitely known.
