What reading level is The Foundations of Faith book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lecky has pointed out that in the religious art of the thirteenth century God is always represented as a pope in Italian pictures and as an emperor in German ones. A famous wit has told us that " An honest God's the noblest work of man. " But as a matter of fact many of man's gods are very far from honest, and the wide variety of good and evil conceptions which is covered by the one word God in the history of religion, is supposed to be entirely due to the similar variety in the character of th...e men who formed these ideas of God. In the words of 90 THE FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH Charles Dickens, " Verily, verily, travellers have seen many monstrous idols in many countries: but no human eyes have ever seen more daring, gross, and shocking images of the divine nature, than we poor creatures of the dust, make in our own likeness of our own bad passions. " In regard to this whole subject there is much to say for the probability that man has made his gods in his own image, and it is by no means to his discredit that he has done so.
