What reading level is A Reasonable Religion Religio Doctoris book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are of course certain conceptions that are common to all of these periods; but neverthe- less the Christianity of the first century and that of the fourth were very different, and either of these was quite different from either Roman or Protestant Chris- tianity in the fifteenth century. Both the theology and the accepted ethics of these different epochs were different, and the ethical conceptions that prevailed at any one of these periods were dissimilar from those of today.
As a child i...mder Protestant instruction I was given the impression that religious persecution and physical punishment for heresy were peculiar to Roman Catholic Christianity; and that the reason they are not widely practised by Catholics today is that the Romanists are not now strong enough to venture on such drastic measures. When later I studied history for myself and learned that Protestants also persecuted and killed in the name of religion, and indeed that, at a period generations later than the Reformation era, it was in Protestant communities that the pitifully cruel and absurd witchcraft trials and executions took place, I realized that it was neither Romanism nor Protest- HAPPINESS AND MORALITY 129 autism as such that caused these evils, but an unen- lightened moral consciousness characteristic of the particular stage of civiHzation in question — for which, it must of course be granted, the actual teachings of the clergy of both the mother and the daughter church were not without responsibihty, but which nevertheless was not an essential part of either form of Christianity.
