What reading level is The Social Evolution of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Feudalism in western Europe reached its highest mani- festation in many respects; and nowhere else did it develop all the phases which it there presented. In that region it ap- peared largely as a lordly control of the great mass of the people, by men living in castles, holding all the land about them, and by military organization dominating common life, politics, commerce, and religion alike. The social basis for this tyipe of development may be regarded as having its founda- tion in ancestor-...worship, which gave sanction to the idea that some men are born to rule over others by right divine. The feudalism of western Europe had outgrown the more material phases of that worship ; but its spiritual implications remained, and they were effective in creating a class ruling as if ap- pointed of God. The divine right of kings had its beginnings in the belief that rulers are the direct descendants of the gods or that the gods have endowed them with superhuman qualities, in order that they may fitly govern others.
