What reading level is The Life And Times of John Calvin the Great Reformer volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since it was Calvin's main design, in his system of belief, to exhibit the glory of God, and under the influence of profound devotion, to ascribe everything to his power, while he denied to man, sunk in dust and iniquity, every pretension to honor ; so was he necessarily led to adopt the strongest view of the doc- trine of election. God is the source of all things, even of the will to do good, and by him are all things ruled. Hence elec- tion consists with divine providence, and then only are w...e con- vinced that salvation springs from the undeserved mercy of God, when we have become acquainted with the eternal election, by which God determines some to glory, but denies it to others, without reference to the conduct of either. This election re- mains a profound mystery, and must not be curiously examined. But it is, notwithstanding, a profitable doctrine, calculated to de- stroy from the very roots all human pride and assumption. Here occurs the startling statement, that God, for the glory of his right- eousness, consigns some to damnation; and the expression brought against Calvin, " a terror-moving decree ;" dccrctum quidem hor- ribile* * This celebrated place, Dccretum quidem horribile fatcor, which does hon- 200 CALVIN ON PREDESTINATION.
