What reading level is The Idea of God in Early Religions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the reticence of the savage promises to avail him but little : the comparative method has thrown a flood of light on his most sacred mysteries.
There may however be another reason why the prayers of the lower races have not been recorded to any great extent: they may not have been recorded for the simple reason that they may not have been uttered. The nature and the occasion of the rite with which the god is approached may be such as to make words superfluous: the purpose of the ceremony ma...y find adequate expression in the acts performed, and may require no words to make it clear. If a community approaches its god with sacrifice or offering, in time of sore distress, it approaches him with full conviction that he under- stands the circumstances and the purpose of their coming. Words of dedication — 'this to thee' is a formula actually in use — may be necessary, but nothing more. Indeed, the Australian tribes, in J. 8 114 THE IDEA OF GOD [iv rites analogous to harvest-offerings, use no spoken words at all.
