What reading level is Studies of Christianity Or Timely Thoughts for Religious Thinkers a Series O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our author j^rofessedly opposes " Ancient Christianity " to modern scepticism, because " History, " as he observes, " is solid ground, " and no region of atmospheric phantasms, births from the refracted rays of metaphysic light. History, however, is solid ground only so far as it is really explored ; and the trending of the land and curving of the shore in one latitude of time no more enables us to lay down the map of another, than an anchorage at the Ganges' mouth would enable us to paint the ...gorges of the Himalayas, and distinguish the real from the fabulous sources of the sacred stream. To take us into the basilicas and show us how Christians worshipped in the days of Alexander Severus, to introduce us to the Pro- consul's court and bid us witness their refusal of divine hom- age to Cicsar's image, and then ask us whether a faith like this could have had any origin but one, — this is not Jiistorij, but the mere evasion of history. We wantr to know, not what must have been the source, but what ivas the source, of the great moral power that rose upon the world as Rome declined.
