What reading level is The Political Aspects of S Augustines City of God book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Augustine to support his radical Erastianism. From him he develops the doctrine that the clergy must always be subordinate to the civil power, for royalty represents the fatherhood of God and the priesthood the sonship. He cites S. Augustine in regard to the image and superscription of Caesar. Wyclif was the most thoroughgoing Erastian who ever lived. He wrote after Marsilius of Padua, and was probably in- fluenced by the ' Defensor Pacis ' with its programme of democratic Erastianism. Most of ...Wyclif's works are a plea for the disendowment of the Church. The ' De Dominio Civili ' is not mainly a treatise on politics, as its name might seem to imply. It is concerned with property, and especially with corporate property. Wyclif wants the Church to be disendowed. Then, he says, the lords, having more lands, will have less motive to oppress the poor. In the ' Speculum Militantis Ecclesiae ' he treats of the Church as equivalent to the common- wealth, and declares that it consists of the lords, the clergy and the labouring classes !
