What reading level is The Law And the Prophets the Hulsean Lectures for 1882 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Prediction of the future, as it is generally understood, is not the essential work of the Hebrew prophet. In the popular idea, the Hebrew prophet is the predicter of future events. Foretelling the future, is not merely one of his functions, it is his essential function. He did other things, no doubt, but this was the one thing which made him what he was. From this he derived his name of prophet. This was the secret, or, more correctly, the manifestation of his strength. This it is which disting...uishes him from other messengers of God.
Such no doubt is the popular idea. When we come to compare it with the facts, we find that it is an exaggeration, and a mistake. It gives an undue importance to that which was, after all, only a sub- ordinate feature of the prophetic work. It mistakes the essential function of a prophet. A man might be a prophet, and yet never, in the ordinary sense of the words, foretell the future. (15) It is hardly necessary to say that etymology, whether Hebrew or Greek, gives no certain support to the popular idea.
