What reading level is Confessions of An Old Priest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My God ! why hast thou for- saken me ?" So also as to his teaching as to the attitude of each man to his fellow men. "Resist not evil" ; "if one smite you on the one cheek turn to him the other" ; "if one take your coat give him your cloak also" ; give to every beggar and lend to every borrower. Tolstoi and his kind maintain that in all this Jesus meant what he said. No doubt they are right. But they go on to insist that the counsel is intrinsically good and ought to be adopted as the rule of l...ife; and here they are surely wrong. At this point con- ventional Christianity boggles and hesitates and distin- guishes, afraid to follow and ashamed to turn away. The result is a continual disingenuousness, a paltering with honesty, a belief which is only simulated, an ideal which instinct protests against being put to practice. It \vas in the eighties, while the world was listening to Tolstoi, that the question was forced upon me. With trembling I asked myself, Is it possible that Jesus was wrong?
