What reading level is Through Nature to Christ Or the Ascent of Worship Through Illusion to the Trut book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fortunes of their country accompanied them to the battle-field, and they fought as though they trusted it was a god and might accompany them even beyond an honourable grave.
So noble an illusion naturally produced much true wor- ship, much high morality : but the sphere of its action was limited, and its duration curtailed by this great defect — it was essentially exclusive. The heroic deeds of the ancient patriots were almost all extorted by the pressure of a contest felt to be for life or... death. The very notion of patriotism implied the desire to lower other countries that one's own might be exalted. Now this being the case, as long as the nation was fighting an up-hill battle, patriotism implied endurance, suffering, fortitude, patience, trust against appearances in the nation's destiny, and much other passive virtue ; but as soon as the nation gained the ascendant, there was no scope left for all these passive virtues, and patriotism now began to imply oppression, cruelty, unscrupulousness, and insolence.
