What reading level is The Luther Celebrations of 1917 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the movement the success of which meant life or death to him made headway almost exclusively in the regions of the country where the princes were favourable, he was induced to concede to these an amount of power inside the Church which has ever since been a weight and a hindrance. This timidity has clung to German churchmen ever since ; and one of themselves, a scholar of great eminence, whose specialty is the comprehensive survey of history, has acknowledged that Lutheranism naturally allie...s itself too easily with the monarchical and the aristocratic, being afraid of the freer and more progressive forces in so- ciety; since the French Revolution it has 16 THE LUTHERAN CELEBRATIONS identified itself with reaction in Church and State ; and it has had not a little to do with the growth of the military and power-loving spirit in the Germany which has Prussia for its head (Troeltsch, Die Soziallehren der christlichen Kirchen, pp. 602-5).
It is not, however, to profound political theories in Luther's writings that we need to appeal, but to his plain teaching on the simplest elements in the Moral Law — not to violate one's spoken or written word, not to covet the possessions of one's neighbours, not to steal, not to kill.
