What reading level is The Limits of Civil Obedience book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It cannot he that the laws upon the statute books of States, are, in any conceivable or possible circumstances, to limit or lessen our obligation to the law, traced by the very hand of the Almighty, ineftaceably, upon the tables of the heart. Civil government, as a creature of God, is bound to conform its requirements to the laws of its Creator. As an instrumentality included within, and forming a part of, His moral govern- ment, it is bound to conform itself to the principles of that governmen...t. Whenever it does otherwise, whenever it requires of its subjects what is a pal- pable \iolation of these princij)les, it has, so far, ceased to be of God's ordaining. In setting at naught, by its enactments, an eternal moral law, it is criminally false to the purposes of its existence. In commanding others to set it at naught in their practice, it has, so far, forfeited its claim to their obedience.
Am I stating a principle inconsistent with the teaching of the text"? Nay, I claim the passage, in its connection, as in confirmation of the prin- ciple.
