What reading level is The Expansion of Religion Six Lectures Delivered Before the Lowell Institute book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
228 THE EXPANSION OF RELIGION.
These, then, are the elemental proposi- tions of Religion toucliing the everlasting conflict between Individualism and Social- ism. First, Religion is pledged, by its doctrine of the personal relation of every soul to God, to help on all those forces which are emphasizing and refining the sense of separate self-hood. Second, it is equally pledged, by its doctrine of human brotherhood, to further the exercise of every leadership which produces, or tends to produce,... the welfare of the great total body of Society. These two propositions describe the means of the moral education of the individual and a bond of union for the race. They exhibit the necessity of preserving a balance in the w^orking of the law of life, the law which provides for self- preservation and self-assertion, and for the intelligent subordination of these to the organization which w^e call Society. Such a statement runs the risk of being branded as a cowardly compromise by those who hotly demand the sanction of Religion for pure unrestricted Individualism on the one side, or for thoroughgoing Socialism upon the other.
