What reading level is Christian Ethics volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the antagonism of the spirit to the flesh that lies at the basis of sacrifice ; in the interest of the spiritual, the spirit sacrifices the fleshly. Also man as normal and not yet sinful, had to crucify his flesh with the affections and lusts thereof [Gal. V, 24], although this flesh and its desires were not yet immoral ; but to have sought the flesh as an end, as a good, would have been sinful ; and God put upon him a requirement of abnegation in order that he might recognize and actuall...y learn this fact, that he might break away from the merely sensuous, and develop in himself the image of God. Simple obedience to this requirement, without a why or wherefore, was the purest and best of sacrifices. This Paradisaical gerrn 230 CHRISTIAN ETHICS. [ 117.
of all sacrifice is, therefore, self-denial in obedience to God, a renouncing not a destroying, a giving up, out of love to the spirit, of that which is dear to the flesh ; and this idea per vades all forms of sacrifice, even the emphatic sin-offering; only that which'is dear to man can be to him a sacrifice ; and because of the simple fact that the first man would not bring the light sacrifice required of him, it became necessary for him afterward to make severer ones; and from the hour of the fall and thenceforth the morally-religious consciousness of humanity finds satisfaction only in a series of progressively more violent and more terrible sacrifices, culminating in the offering of human victims, and that too not merely among the rude, but even among the most civilized of gen tile nations.
