What reading level is The Land of Promise; An Account of the Material And Spiritual Unity of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, said he, it were in the interests of mankind to alter or abolish the Sabbath, Christ Himself taught that it was within CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA 273 the rights of the Son of Man, that is, of mankind, to do so. The human and the divine sanctions were practically interchangeable, because God willed nought but that man should have life, and have life more abundantly.
But it is not generally believed that this divine humanity was to be won by any philanthropic, humane, charitable, socialistic ame...lioration of the human lot. The foundation of all true social re- form, to the new Puritan, consists in a broadened, humanised evangelical process of individual con- version. It requires that each one should live within the sanctity proper to his respective state of life. The evangelical Christian and Puritan is not self- consciously altruistic. He is taught reverently to seek for individual holiness, purity, love, peace, joy, helpfulness as mere religious submission to God. This new conservatism of Evangelical Christianity is the new animating and rallying force in each religious congregation of American Protestantism.
