What reading level is The Religion of the Present And of the Future : Sermons Preached Chiefly At Yale College book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor will rules in any department of ethics, without such a central regulator, even if observed, fail of being followed by undue self-confidence, and thus of pre- paring the way for their own violation. But rules are especially needed to keep the soul in due sobriety, because the excited desires sweep in sudden gusts over the soul, prostrating reason, conscience, and even prudence before them. If a liability to such bursts of desire is allowed, the habit must ensue of giving way to them; thus tw...o evU habits, that of inordinate desire or passion, and that of giving up self-control, support one another, and grow together. The rule or maxim at such times may be that on which the mind may fell back. It is a kind of fortress reared by the wisdom and thoughtfulness of the past, to which the assaulted soul may retire until it has recruited its strength for the battle.
It is the part of Christian ethics to make known what rules are needed for our moral guidance, and to enforce them by the appropriate motives.
