What reading level is Critical Historical Essays volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Now this unbaptized impostor is evidently no successor of the Apostles. He is not even a Christian ; and all orders Gladstone on Church and State 275 derived through such a pretended bishop are altogether invalid. Do we know enough of the state of the world and of the Church in the third century to be able to say with confi- dence that there were not at that time twenty such pretended bishops ? Every such case makes a break in the apostolical succession.
Now, suppose that a break, such as Hoo...ker admits to have been both common and justifiable, or such as we have supposed to be produced by hypocrisy and cupidity, were found in the chain which connected the Apostles with any of the missionaries who first spread Christianity in the wilder parts of Europe, who can say how extensive the effect of this single break may be ? Suppose that St. Patrick, for example, if ever there was such a man, or Theodore of Tarsus, who is said to have consecrated in the seventh century the first bishops of many English sees, had not the true apostolical orders, is it not conceivable that such a circumstance may affect the orders of many clergymen now living?
