What reading level is Congregationalists in America : a Popular History of Their Origin, Belief, Polity, Growth And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For many years after the Halfway Covenant became com- mon practice this conclusion was avoided ; those who owned the covenant while admittedly unregenerate being excluded from the Lord's Supper. But the dis- tinction in many places gradually faded away ; and in 1707 Mr. Stoddard, in a sermon which he published, maintained that " the Lord's Supper is a converting ordinance." The sermon provoked earnest discussion, and in 1709 Mr. Stoddard, in reply to the arguments against it by Dr. Licrease Mat...her and others, pub- lished his " Appeal to the Learned; being a Vindica- tion of the Rieht of Visible Saints to the Lord's Supper, though they be destitute of a Saving Work of God's Spirit on their Hearts." This position, that there were saints who had not been born anew, though it was not universally accepted, was affirmed by able and godly leaders among the churches, and it exten- sively prevailed.
The churches, thus receiving increasing numbers who did not claim to be converted, grew lax in discipline.
