What reading level is The Ethical Teaching of Jesus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
141 constraining lier to take another man; or by a man's entering into marriage with a divorced woman.^ None of these was in the original logion, but all were situations which arose practically as the re- sults of divorce. St. Paul also gives his own inter- pretation to this logion, ^ advising that when a Chris- tian and an unbeliever are married, they should not separate ; but ' ' if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bond- age in such cases. " Th...is is a case where one party insists upon divorce. The other cannot prevent it. The innocent party is not under bondage ; that is, is released from the marriage tie by the divorce made by the guilty party.
Thus the Gospel of Matthew gives us one excep- tion, fornication; St. Paul another, abandonment; which qualify the logion of Jesus, and make divorce justifiable, under these circumstances. This can only be explained on the same principle that Jesus used to explain the Deuteronomic law of divorce; namely that the ideal of the indissolubility of the marriage tie cannot always be enforced, owing to the hardness of men 's hearts ; that if one of the parties breaks the tie, the other cannot longer be held in bondage to it, and that there is a kind of sin which in itself, in its very nature, dissolves the union.
