What reading level is The Elements of the Higher Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if we know a man to be corrupt or insincere, no matter how exalted his teachings, we are apt not to attach to them the same force that we do to the utterances of a consistent and earnest teacher. The conclusion is unavoidable in such a case that our teacher has learned the lessons he is attempting to teach us by rote; that he is simply repeating them to us in a parrotlike fashion without understanding their bearings; but if so, we scarcely feel like trusting his competency. Or else, perhaps..., he does understand the deep meaning of these teachings, but is convinced that they are not true; and if so, how shall he rouse in us a desire to do the things he recommends or believe in the validity of the principles he advocates ? With such an estimate of the teacher we discount the teaching. TA man may, of course, have a keen sense of the moral and religious value of the truth in general, or of some truth in particular, and no historic sense; he may be able to reproduce a moral and religious principle with accuracy and force, and unable to give a his- torical account without unconsciously introducing into it many inaccuracies.
