What reading level is Thirty Thousand Thoughts Being Extracts Covering a Comprehensive Circle of Reli book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, it is worthy of remark, that in reference to the several individuals alluded to in that chapter, their faith is uniformly illus- trated by their trust in the Divine promise, and by their obedience to the Divine command. If, then, the faith of Noah and of Abraham was commended, on account of their having acted according to the Divine command, and trusted in the Divine promise, how is it possible but to conclude that the faith of Abel also, which is commended in the same chapter as well as t...heirs, was exemplified in precisely the same way, and approved of, too, upon the very same principle ; and since it is said that "he obtained witness that he was righteous" by virtue of his having offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, what can we infer from this, but that his offering, like the conduct of Noah and Abraham, was approved of, because it was presented in a believing spirit of obediefjce to a Divine com- mand? And what other conclusion can we come to than that God at that time had already prescribed the sacrifice of animals in religious worship ; that in compliance with His revealed will upon the subject, Abel presented to Him the firstlings and the choice of his flock ; and that, as the living creatures which he sacrificed were accepted as a proof of his faith, so, on the other hand, Cain's vegetable offering was re- jected, just because it was an evidence alike of his unbelief, his presumption, and his impiety?
