What reading level is Christian History in Its Three Great Periods book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It needs its outposts, its skirmish- ers, its corps of desperate fighters ; men absolutely reckless of all fears, and bound by no interests or hopes except such as identify them with the strength and life of the army itself ; volunteers, who make its advance guard in battle and its forlorn hope at a crisis ; a body of reserve, to whom life itself is a thing utterly indifferent in comparison with the honor of the service, and all other affection thin and cold except that which makes it their one... pride to fight under the flag, and their joy to die for it. From Marathon down to Plevna, it is safe to say that no army has been great, and no military dominion strong, that could not count on the absolute devotion of such a reserve force, — a body to which danger itself has an irresistible fascination, whose one mas- ter-passion is warrior zeal, whose hot desire is for the fiery delight of combat.
To say, then, that the Church was victorious in the war it undertook, is to say that it had at its command such a body of enthusiasts, a body of absolute loyalty 168 MONASTICISM AS A MORAL FORCE.
