What reading level is The Civilization of Christendom And Other Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This thinness of doctrine is, I think, directly caused by the Agnostic attitude, and cannot give place to a ARE WE AGNOSTICS? 137 richer culture until the attitude of ignorance is exchanged for an attitude of knowledge. An Agnostic may reply to this by saying that of course every negative is founded upon some affirmative, and that if we say we do not know the imaginary spiritual world, that is just be- cause we do know the real spiritual world, the world of beauty, and goodness, and truth.
Now,... if any one says that, I quite agree with him, and I only rejoin, " Has not the time come to make your affirmative explicit ; that is, to say, to the best of your power, what posi- tively you do mean ? " It is the affirmative that wins, and convinces, and inspires ; why go on throughout a whole century protesting against exploded mistakes, till the new sermon becomes just about as dull as the old ? In this context I always think of Goethe's lines to America : 138 ARE WE AGNOSTICS f " Thou art happier, America, Than our old continent ; Thou hast no fantastic ruins, No castles torn and rent.
