What reading level is Christianity in Japan 1859 1883 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Writings of this kind were exactly fitted to the taste of the naturally liberal minded Japanese. They were eagerly received and extensively read among the young students. When, therefore, the missionaries came into con- tact with the people more freely they were often placed in the most embarrassing situation by their inability to give satisfactory answers to the questions raised by the young students concerning the apparently contracted statements in the Scriptures as depicted by the sceptical... writers. Another difficulty of more complicated nature inhered in the ethical idea of the Japanese. According to their con- ception loyalty and filial piety are the cardinal virtues around which all other virtues are grouped as subordinates. Now, the seeming disregard of these duties in the Christian doc- trine appeared to them detrimental to the preservation of moral order of society. Therefore, many people severely criticised the new faith on this point. 2 The idea of death among the Japanese may be men- tioned in this connection.
