What reading level is The Hallowing of Criticism Nine Sermons On Elijah Preached in Rochester Cathed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
169 wanting to Elijah's portrait. And as they press on, the elder prophet breaks the solemn stillness with generous words : Ask what I shall do for thee (but ask quickly) before I be taken from thee. There could be only one gift which Elisha would desire; unworldliness is always a sure mark of the true prophetic character. I pray thee, says Elisha, let a double portion of thy spirit the portion of a firstborn son (Deut. Xxi. 17) be upon me. This is all that he dares ask ; there could no more be... a second Elijah than a second Moses ; the great Artificer of souls never repeats Himself. But even this is no slight boon ; it is a bold venture of faith to ask it. Of course Elijah, friendly as he is, cannot himself grant it ; the God of the spirits of all flesh can alone transfer or transmit prophetic capacity. Nor can even God Himself do so without a heroic effort on the part of Elisha ; only through a fiery trial can this heavenly gift be won. Thou hast asked a hard thing, replies Elijah ; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
