What reading level is An Essay On Faith book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are wrong who suppose, that the sanctifica- tion of a soul consists simply in the truth's abiding in it and they also are wrong who 86 suppose, that a soul can be sanctified by any other means. An unholy soul has lit- tle susceptibility of impressions from holy objects; and although they have a natural suitableness to its affections, yet it is scarce ly moved or stirred, when in contact with them, and when absent from them, feels no desire after them. Whereas a holy soul, in their absence,... longs after them, and in their presence is increasingly susceptible of impressions from them; and is at the same time increasingly unsusceptible of impres- sions from their opposites.
This sanctification of the heart is evident- ly a progressive work, but the progress may be more or less rapid in different persons. One may advance more in an hour than another in a long life. An indolent appli- cation to the truth can produce but little sanctification, and so faith cannot increase. An admission of impressions from impro- per objects, deadens the affections towards the truth, and so faith retrogrades.
