What reading level is The Holy Christian Church From Its Remote Origins to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was to take nearly two centuries of wretched failure to dispel one of the most widespread and splendid illusions of the Western world.
The process of disillusion was marked by incidents of the most striking character. The enterprise was so fantastic that a modern historian, von Sybel, has said of the First Crusade: "It was much as if a large army were now to embark in balloons in order to conquer an island between the earth and the moon which was also expected to contain the earthly Paradise.... " But apart from their follies, their successes, and their reverses, in all directions the crusades bore fruit. They developed the ritualistic or chivalrous side of feudalism. They fed legend, and from legend the bud- ding vernacular literature of Europe. They showed monstrous sides in their brutality, and mixed credu- lousness and impiety, yet they stimulated the seaborne trade of the Mediterranean. And they added a charm of the romantic and mysterious to the severity of the cardinal Christian virtues.
