What reading level is Apologetics Or Christianity Defensively Stated book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A national god is not the god of his people by choice, but by natural affinity and necessity. Bel could no more help being the god of Babylon, than a Babylonian could help being born in a country where Bel was worshipped as the national deity. On the other hand, a God who becomes related to a particular people by choice or covenant is a God who, before the choice, stood in the same relations to all, and might have made no choice or a different one. He is further a God who, after making a choice..., does not feel bound by it to partiality in favour of the elected people, or to permanence in His relations * Amos ii. 6-8.
THE RELIGION OF THE PROPHETS. 183 thereto. He cliooses from a purpose in harmony with His absohite character, and He will be guided by that purpose in all His relations to the chosen. Thus the electing God of Hebrew prophecy is in all respects the very antithesis of the national gods of heathen Semitic peoples.
The title, the Holy One of Israel, frequently applied to Jehovah by the prophets, especially by Isaiah, seems to savour of religious nationalism.
