What reading level is The Moral Life And Moral Worth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence the tendency arises to distinguish religion from ordinary life in such a way as to lead to their separation ; and the religious life may be represented as something which can be led apart from the practice of the ordinary personal and social virtues. Every religion can produce examples of a high standard of religious observance combined with a poor performance of ordinary duties. The intense consciousness of the importance of the spiritual world may even lead to a disregard for the things... of common life which easily lapses into immorahty.
But rehgion and morality cannot for long be kept apart : unless, as in some creeds, God is confined to heaven and the world given over to the devil. The new spiritual interests act upon a man's inner attitude and thus affect the springs of conduct. If the object of faith be unworthy, the works of faith will diverge from the moral standard. But when there is faith in a God who is also goodness, the virtues of personal and social life will remain, RELIGION AND THE MORAL LIFE 135 only more securely based : active goodness will be intensified and the aspiration after an ideal perfection confirmed.
