What reading level is The Missionary Enterprise : a Concise History of Its Objects, Methods And Extension book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scarcely less important than knowledge of the lan- guage is knowledge of the habits of thought of the people, of the ideas that dominate their belief and action.
Evangelism 153 The missionary in China must understand what ancestral worship is, and what it requires on the part of the people. In India the more he can know of the way in which the Vedas have worked into popular thought the better he will be able to do what Paul did at Athens.
The thought even of the Hottentot must be understood if ...it is to be replaced by the thought of Christ. Kindred to this is the ability to enter into the feelings of people ; to sympathize with their peculiar needs; to appreciate their customs ; to recognize the inner qualities which make possible a noble character, even though the surroundings be degrading and sinful. The missionary should be able to do, in a measure, what the Master did when He suf- fered the woman that was a sinner to wash His feet. So, also, he must be able to mingle with the people, and share in some degree their life, the formal life of the Mandarin as well as the poor, even repulsive, life of the pariah; just as the Saviour asserted His right to the honours due to a guest at the Pharisee's table, but could also talk familiarly with the woman of Samaria.
