What reading level is Phases of Faith: Or, Passages From the History of My Creed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
poTjin) TO BE VAnr. 93 man, speaks from without: that what we call Beason and Conscience is not his mode of commanding and revealing his will, but that words to strike the ear, or symbols displayed before the senses, are emphatically and exclusively '' Revela- tion." Besides all this, the command of slaughter to the Jews is not directed against the seven nations of Canaan only, as modem theologians often erroneously assert : it is a uni- ifersal permission of avaricious massacre and subjugation... of " the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations," Deut. xx, 15.
The thoughts which here fill but a few pages, occupied me a long while in working out; because I consciously, with caution more than with timidity, declined to follow them rapidly. They came as dark suspicions or as flashing possibi- lities j and were again laid aside for reconsideration, lest I should be carried into antagonism to my old creed. For it is clear that great error arises in religion, by the undue ardour of converts, who become bitter against the faith which they have left, and outrun in zeal their new associates.
