What reading level is Christian History in Its Three Great Periods volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Something more than a century has passed since that challenge was thrown down to the human rea- son ; and as a result we see, more plainly than was * The Spectator, Nov. 12, 1881.
THE RESULT. 153 possible then, what I began by stating : that the dog- matic part of the Christian creed passes into pure metaphysics, and its practical or human part into pure psychology and ethics. We have also seen that the process which lias led to this result was involved in the Protestant formula itself, and the... nature of the discussions which ensued as to its interpretation. Once afloat upon the wave of that interminable con- troversy, — of predestination, divine decrees, the bond- age of the human will, and the saving efficacy of faith, — the way was open to the course of thought which has been widenins^ out ever since.
Two side influences, however, have contributed to this result. One is the indirect effect of the growth of positive science, first interjDreted by Bacon, of which I have not spoken here, because it seemed best to deal only with that which was spontaneously developed within the sphere of pure thought itself* The other, which is here briefly traced, is the impulse given to the movement by a series of very vigorous, able, and independent thinkers, — men who, not con- tent with the accepted theories, reasoned in their own way upon the data given them in current dogma, until one by one the old spectres of metaphysics were laid ; and, without wishing or even suspecting it, men found themselves walking together upon the plain ground of fact.
