What reading level is Unitarian Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This religious im- pulse, universal, so far as we know, among men would seem to be the most purely personal of emotions, re- flecting each man's own instincts of love and hate, of fear and desire. Yet, the farther back we go, the more we find rehgion an affair, not of the individual, but of the community, the family, the clan, the race, the nation. As the individual finds himself in all other relations a part of the social organism, so in rehgion. The thing greater than himself takes form in th...e tribal deities, the mediators between the great imknown and his little world of the known.
The deahngs with the unseen powers pass into the hands of "experts" of one sort or another, and so the priesthoods of the world have arisen. Their function has been to speak for the people with the gods, to give voice to the desires, the passions, at times to the sorrows and the repentance, of the community. In turn they have come to shape and guide these feehngs. The com- munity has been bound to certain prescribed forms of expression for its emotions, and the priesthoods, as ad- ministrators of these forms, have come to exercise su- preme control over rehgion and to extend their sway over every detail of the associated Hfe of men.
