What reading level is This Time And Its Interpretation, Or, the Coming of the Son of Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY 71 Again, before the Church lay a wide field of OK>ortunity. Paganism was gone, the tyrannical force of Emperors was gone. The wonderful prestige and dignity of Rome was in the hands of a Christian Bishop. What possibilities open out as we think of all the resources of the Kingdom of God !
Had the Bishop exercised his authority in a reasonable way; had he acknowledged the old Patriarchates of the East and confined his ambitions within the sphere of the West, accept...- ing for himself the position of Primus tnter pares, how very different the^ future of the Chm-ch would have been. But again man's self-will marred God's plans. The names of Innocent, Leo, Gregory and Hildebrand recall the achieve- ment of some of those purposes which Rome was destined to fulfil ; they also show the dangers of spiritual ambition to which central authority is alwa}^ exposed. At last the Papacy broke by its own weight.
In 1378 the great Schism of the West took place, a schism that lasted forty years.
