What reading level is Our Unitarian Gospel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You can buy their favor; you canward off their anger, if only you can offer them something which isprecious enough so that they are ready to accept it at the worshipper'shands.
These are not merely Old Testament ideas, nor only pagan ideas. Someyears ago, when I was in Rome, I visited among others one of the manychurches dedicated to Mary under one name or another; and there was astatue of the Virgin by the altar, and it impressed me very much to seethat it was loaded down with gifts. Every pla...ce on the statue itself towhich anything could be attached, anything on the altar around it, wasweighted down with gold chains, with jewels, with precious gifts ofevery kind. These had been brought as thank-offerings, expressions ofworship, or pledges connected with a petition, because I have broughtthee this gift, have mercy, do this for me which I need.
So these old ideas are vital still, and live on in the modern world. And yet modern and magnificent are those utterances of the old Hebrewprophet, who had so completely outgrown the common customs even of histime, when he represents God as saying that he is weary of all theseexternal offerings.
