What reading level is Fundamental Church Principles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
John, in the Eevelation, addresses his letters to the Angels, or Messengers of the Churches, as if he recognized that everywhere the Church was under Episcopal oversight. Clement alludes to rulers, presbyters and dea- cons, as the Ministry of the Church, and takes it for granted that every presbyter at Corinth had, as a matter of course, been ordained by an Apostle, or other eminent men. The obscure writer in some remote part of Syria who gives us his crude con- ception of Christianity in the "...Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, " evidently has in mind a minis- try similar to that to which Clement refers at Corinth ; a local ministry of presbyters and dea- cons, with an itinerant episcopate, exercising occa- sional and general superintendence, similar to the The Sacred Ministry. 121 government of the Asiatic churches under St. Paul. About the time of St. John's death, this itiner- ant rule of apostolic men became localized, as a diocesan episcopacy ; not suddenly, but gradually, so that within ten or fifteen years after the death of the last of the Apostles, Ignatius could speak of it as a settled part of the regimen of Church gov- ernment.
