What reading level is A Short History of the book of Common Prayer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Book of CommonPrayer appeals to us on this score, precisely as the Bible, in itslarger measure, does: it is the book of many generations, not ofone, and there is "the hiding of its power. " We have received thePrayer Book from the generations that are gone; we purpose handingit on when "another generation cometh"; we hold it for the use andblessing of the generation which now is.
Our thoughts about the book, therefore, if we would have thethinking rightly done, must take hold upon the past,... the present, and the future, a breadth of topic covered well enough perhaps bythis phrase, The Permanent and the Variable Characteristics of thePrayer Book.
I make no apology for asking you to take up the subject in so gravea temper. Now, for more than three hundred years, the Common Prayerhas been the manual of worship in use with the greater number ofthe people of that race which, meanwhile, in the providence of God, has been growing up to be the leading power on earth. Everywherethe English language seems to be going forth conquering and toconquer, and whithersoever it penetrates it carries with it theletters and the social traditions of a people whose character hasbeen largely moulded by the influences of the Prayer Book.
