What reading level is The Next Step in Religion; An Essay Toward the Coming Renaissance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Religion was loth to give up the simpler and more child-like ideas of the universe and to displace the earth from its proud preeminence as the one foot-stool of 104 THE NEXT STEP IN RELIGION deity. Man feels lonelier in the tremendous spaces and stellar systems which astronomy has revealed to his eye and mind. But the facts piled up by science in its pa- tient work of investigation were too strong to be ig- nored, and religion had to modify its teaching by at least a passive acceptance of the n...ew world outlook which would have been so strange to Jesus and Paul. It is evident that this involves the quiet giving up of the truth of the story of creation, as well as the doctrine of a day of judgment. When we once realize that the earth is a pin-point in the physical universe, these stories, woven in days when it was regarded as the stable center of things, are seen to be outgrown myths.
But astronomy was followed by biology with its hy- pothesis of evolution. No sooner had religion resigned itself to a larger world than its peace was again broken by the teaching that man was the end-term of an evolu- tion of animal life going far back into the dim past.
