What reading level is The History of Mohammedanism, And Its Sects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Philo, the great expounder of the doctrines held by those who were termed the philosophical Jews, advocates in the same breath the practices of the Essenes and the mystic theology of the East. The great calamities which subsequently fell on the Jewish nation, broke up these associations, but traces of asceticism are still jto be found among the modem Jews.
What is usually termed Gnosticism, was the first cor- ruption of Christianity; it began before the generation which had witnessed Christ's m...iracles had disappeared from the earth; the speculations of the Gnostics have been traced by ecclesiastical historians to Persia and Egypt, and it would require very little research, to show that both these countries obtained them from India, Concurrently with these mystic speculations, two corrupt practices were introduced into the Christian church — monastic institutions, und the celibacy of the clergy.
Without paying any regard to the evil which regulations so utterly inconsistent with human nature and with God's positive command must necessarily bring upon the Christian church; wanting either the capacity or inclination to inves- tigate the relations of these laws to those of climate^ social condition, or individual strength; without foreseeing that they must necessarily, in many instances;, lead to private q2 228 MONASTIC ORDERS OF ISLAMISM.
