What reading level is The Lutheran Cyclopedia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why not allow some of the nobler characteristics of this humble race to have fig- ured a little more prominently during these years of schism and controversy ? It is gener- ally admitted that a deep religious nature, honesty, and truthfulness are also noticeable characteristics of this people. It is said of the old Viking that "he had a sense of honor which led him to sacrifice his life rather than his word." We certainly believe that the early Norwegian American pioneers were moved, in their h...eroic labors for God and the Church, by nobler motives than intolerance of restraint and self-aggrandizement. A knowledge of the rep- resentative men in each of the contending par- ties, coupled with a fair knowledge of their pioneer work, is sufficient guarantee for the statement that their predominant motive was loyalty to the truth, unyielding and inviolable respect for the Divine Word and the Confessions of the Church, so far as they were understood.
Moreover, that the early church work of the Norwegians was attended with so much dis- agreement ought certainly not to be marvelled at by any one who will take the trouble to com- pare their conditions under the old state church in Norway, with the new and radically changed conditions in America.
