What reading level is The Religion of H G Wells And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He gave wings to the divine love as manifested to man, so that it passed over all sectarian barriers and embraced the whole struggling family of man.
When St Philip cried to our Lord, " Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us, " he breathed forth a profound prayer from the " universal throat " of sorrowing, struggling, baffled, and doubting humanity. In those words are contained a veri- table condensation and distillation of the weary and agonising orisons of generation after generation of seek...ers after God. Whilst perhaps only half realising the immense significance of his own words, St Philip was truly expressing the saddest and most haunting doubt which, age after age, oppresses the hearts and souls of the very best of the sons of men.
The gracious tenderness of his beloved teacher and friend was already well known to St Philip.
156 Christ's Remedy for Fear But then arose the appalling question whether this sheltering tenderness was sanctioned by the author of the universe or not, whether it was not really mocked at by the depressing phenomena of actual life, whether Nature " red in tooth and claw " did not disown it, whether Jesus was not a beautiful dreamer, whether the foundations of the universe are not hard, unpitying and even non-moral, whether human love and compassion are not as fragile flowers blooming for a short and precarious and neglected life on the bleak and sterile surface of uncongenial, unsympathetic and almost hostile granite.
