What reading level is What is a Christian a book for the Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The third guiding principle is that the aim of Jesus was not to conform the outward actions of men to the letter of the moral law, but rather to transform them by the awaken- ing of a loftier and truer inward spirit.
This is the significance of his doctrine of the New Birth. He declared that the only way to get good fruit is to make the tree good.
42 WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN If one desires grapes, he must not look for them on a thorn tree. Other moralists have aimed at constructing a perfect ethical... sys- tem ; Jesus aimed at regenerating human lives, that the law might be forever written on men's hearts.
Here once more we must be careful not to press his sayings to their absolute limit. He did not mean that some men were essentially thorn trees, from whom no good fruit could be expected. But he recognized what every thoughtful person knows, that "'tis one thing to know and another to practice"; that external pressure, whether of physical force or of social constraint, may compel men outwardly to obey the correct rules of con- duct, but it cannot make bad men good.
