What reading level is The Open Court 37, No.806 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A decisive departure crowned the growing exigency of opinion and a pronounced change was made in political theory and practice in the centuries immediately following the conquest of the pagan world by the Christian, for the State had to temper its old aristocratic monopolies and make a few concessions in the direction of representative government, uniform taxation, reform of judicial power, decentralized administration, etc. So that now we are accus- tomed to look upon the State as, after all, ...not an end in itself like the imperialist pagans believed, but a means to an end — the higher end of social realizations of spirituality rather than of force and vested authority.
The great moral conflict between the Roman Empire and proto- Christianity was one between State adjudication and punishment of sin, as a temporal and secular afl:'air on the one hand, and the spirit- uality of Christ's compassion and remission of sin, as a divine dis- pensation on the other. The secular order, realized as the State, is founded on a code of duties calling for strict obedience and literal interpretations of law, while the moral order, realized as an un- worldly Utopia and (excepting various cultural items) fairly w^ell represented in original Christianity and social welfare, is founded on a more lenient survey of principles calling for spiritual inter- pretations of law and an inward repudiation of sin.
