What reading level is The Growth of Christianity London Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had survived the rise of national deities and been mingled with their cults; 1 Especially, Japan: an interpretation, 1904. 8 Japan, p. 52 142 THE GROWTH OF CHRISTIANITY just as in Japan it has been apparently not destroyed, but even strengthened and beautified by the invasion of Buddhism, and now remains on friendly and peace- able terms with that noble religion.
How did Christianity deal with the religion of the family and the clan ? Did the new faith act towards it with unrelenting hostili...ty ? or was something found in it which could be preserved and consecrated ? Such questions are not easy to answer, since they are concerned with phenomena which the ambitious muse of history passes by with contempt ; and we have to recover the facts from chance allusions as best we can.
The modern history of Japan suggests that if the religious base of family life had been as well pre- served and as potent in Greece and Rome as it still is in Japan, there must have been a war to the death between it and Christianity.
