What reading level is The Interregnum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
8 Rev. Xiv. 911.
3 Rev. Xix. 3. 4 Rev. Xviii. 21.
VII] THE CHRISTIAN CREED 61 as being slain with the sword 1, an idea that admits of no possible interpretation as an everlasting torment. The lake of fire is expressly described as the second death 2, and perpetual torment in it is predicted only of three highly allegorical personifications 1 . Elsewhere we find that Death and Hades 2 are cast into it. The idea of tormenting these is obviously absurd, and the whole picture presented in chapters ...xxi. And xxii. Is so incompatible with the presence of people in torment, that we may safely say that no such thing is seriously intended. Rather let us take the truly scriptural view that the Eternal Life is the gift of God, and the alter- native is death 3 .
Whether or no these arguments carry conviction, I think it is at least clear that this doctrine cannot claim to be so essential that Christianity must stand or fall by it ; but it is still open to the objection that a differential treatment of mankind is unfair.
