What reading level is The Religions of the World And Their Relation to Christianity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
153 the unseen Lord. He knows that he is, and he does what he is commanded. Moses is hidden to go in he- fore Pharaoh; he shrinks from the work, hut he is certain that the Lord God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacoh has sent him. Thus Revelation, or the declara- tion of God's mind and will — of God himself — to man, is assumed as the ground of action, and history, and knowledge. It is not put as a vague, distant pos- sibility that such communications may be made to man, that they may reach him ; it... is declared that they must reach him, or that he is helpless and ignorant. He must act under a divine call of some kind, or he cannot act rightly. The Mahometan affirms that this truth of the old time is a truth of the later time. In the seventh century after Christ, Mahomet claims to be called of God to a work. We may believe •that in many points he greatly mistook the nature of this call, of this work.
But the principle that any man who rouses the heart of a nation, who proclaims any deep truth in the midst of it, has a calling, — a calling from God, — that he has no right to deny it or to explain it away ; that he can- not do what he is meant to do except on the faith of it ; this is a conviction which we Christians, like the Ma- hometan, have inherited, or ought to have inherited, from the Jew.
