What reading level is The Philosophy of the Incarnation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Desire is opposed to duty. The will holds the balance, inclines now this way, now that, and finally yields for good or evil. This subjective element of free-will is necessarily in- volved in the very idea of sin. Do away with this, as Mr. Spencer does, and sin is no longer possible. Man is then only a doubtful improve- ment on his cattle ! They at least are not the victims of the moral turpitude which covers man with shame and fills his spirit with the anguish of remorse. It is quite impossible... to define the moral law, even in its broadest outlines, as distin- guished from the laws of physical nature, without specifying its exclusive reference to beings pos- sessed of will. If man be deprived of freedom by any defect of nature or restraint of force he is also deprived of the obligation which liberty would have entailed. While action is consciously self- determined, if it be found to contradict the moral law, it is sin ; but if the power of self-determina- tion have been removed, the action may be per- nicious in the extreme but it will not be rightly named sin.
