What reading level is The Younger Generation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For Christianity on this point is divided against itself. It has inherited the Jewish ideal of justice, but side by side with this it has its own new ideal, that of human immor- tality. Christianity's greatest power over men's minds rests upon the fact that it has not only given consolation in suffering, which is the experience of all mankind, but has done more given a meaning and a sanctity to this experience. The symbol of Christianity was the cross, the story of the passion became the centra...l point of its doctrine, poverty and sad- ness on earth were the basis of the hope of bliss in heaven. The effort to improve our earthly condition, on the other hand, was looked upon as a manifestation of the worldly mind; it is as a vale of tears that the earth becomes a preparation for the joys of eternity. Nay, Christianity in the same breath enjoins on us charity towards the suffering, and patience when we ourselves suffer.
Most of the interpreters of Christianity have The Few and the Many 197 thus taken the substance out of the most unambiguous words of Jesus as to what is demanded by love of one's neighbour; indeed, one may even hear Christians speak scorn- fully of those who insist on the full import of Jesus' claims on neighbour-love.
