What reading level is Faiths Certainties book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They would have seen that you can no more make 189 Faith's Certainties a man believe by compulsion, in any of its forms, than you can by compulsion make him ten feet tall or give him a third eye. Belief is a result of evidence and of nothing else in this world. You can by authority make a man fear, and submit, and subscribe ; you can only make him believe by giving him facts. Luther, in his best days, had clearly seen that. In his " Concerning the Bonds of Obedience " he says : " Therefore it i...s vain and impossible to compel by force this belief or that belief. Force does not do it. It is a free work in faith to which no one can be forced. " As Schopenhauer puts it : " Der Glaube ist wie die Liebe; er lasst sich nicht erzwingen" (faith is like love ; it cannot be forced).
But we are not, most of us, sane enough yet to see that. Our critic might go further in his in- vestigation of doctrine, discovering, to his astonish- ment, that its further developments contradicted, in the most ghastly manner, the whole teaching of the Founder.
