What reading level is On the Right Use of the Early Fathers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A tendency to the one or the other has been characteristic of certain theological schools from ancient times to our own. There may be a risk either way in extremes. The one may result in a low, barren, and im worthy view of a most mysterious book — ^the view, in short of a Sodnian ; the other in a wild, illogical, and imaginative theory of it, such as may seem to justify any excesses of the fismatic, and enable him to extract from Scripture conclusions of almost any form or &shion. But be the l...atter danger what it may, the prin* ciple of interpretation which the Fathers encourage is certainly the Evangelical principle, the principle of making Jesus Christ the focus, as it were, to which the rays of Scripture ahnost univei'sally tend. " The Son of God is sown everywhere, alt through the writings of Moses,"' is their dogma ^ ; and again, *' The Law as read by the Jews at this very time is but a £Etble ; for they have not the key to the whole, which is the Advent of the Son of Qod to man ; whereas, read by Chris- tians, it is a treasure, hid indeed in the field, but revealed to them."* Their position, it must be admitted, helped to foster in them this spirit.
