What reading level is The Code of the Spirit An Interpretation of the Decalogue book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In these familiar and innocent looking fields men harvest a murderous quality. For life, far more than existence, is very precarious. Gra- ciousness, highmindedness, reverence, honor, courage, have a way of gasping and dying at the very moment when existence seems most fat and well liking. And it is far easier to be a murderer, to have a murderer's heart and taste and habit, than it is to bear about in the body the spirit of a savior of life.
There is a familiar way of thinking ^bout the power ...of Christ which helps a man to be a murderer before he knows it. Christ being now identified with the power behind the visible world is thought to be saying to men, "Be good or I will kill you. Once you had the 82 THE CODE OF THE SPIRIT power to kill me. But now I have the power to kill you. " Against that thought men instinc- tively and properly rebel. Unhappily, how- ever, counting this threat a true index of Christ, they refuse to follow Christ; they shut the Savior out of their minds ; and, therefore, they impair their own quality and their effect upon the public life.
