What reading level is The Parish Pastor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He Himself began the celebration of the rite ; knowing, as He must have known, that the Apostles could not have thought that He was holding his own literal body in his own hands, and giving it to them, but would feel sure that He was speaking of a representation — a symbol — of his body. And to most of them — ^probably to all — ^would occur what they had heard from Himself just before, " The flesh profiteth nothing; it is the Spirit that giveth life ;" implying — what is of itself evidently rea...sonable — ^that the real literal flesh of the human body of the Son of Man, even if it could literally be received by our bodily organs, could not, of itself, and merely as flesh, have any spiritual efficacy as regards the soul.
And accordingly, the bread and wine at the Lord's Supper must be regarded (as I have elsewhere remarked) as not ON THE lord's SUPPER. 235 only a Sign, but a sign of a Sign; being a Sign of his Body and Blood, which are a Sign of " the Spirit which quick- eneth." It seems inconceivable, then, that any one of common sense can really doubt that the Apostles understood their Master to be speaking at the last Supper, of the bread and wine as symbols of his body broken, and his blood shed, for them.
