What reading level is The Problem of Evil; An Introduction to the Practical Sciences book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

If, for instance, such theology requires human sacrifices, the less we have of it the better ; if, on the other hand, its doctrines inculcate love as that trait of human character most pleasing to the Divine Being inasmuch as God is Love, the more we have of the like the more beneficial will be the result. More attention must hence be paid to the morality of dogmas. We have no knowledge and hence no science of the supernatural. All we can predicate of this world beyond is conjectural ; our visi...ons of it are fictions of the imagina- tion. Our hypotheses and speculations must therefore be so regulated and controlled that our ideals of Beauty, Truth, and Goodness when formed shall favour moral conduct and social morality. The dogmas of the church do not always lead up to this result ; the doctrine of sin and atonement through the blood of Christ, for instance, we have seen to be a hideously immoral doctrine. Creeds may be necessary, but if they are to be taught, society has a right to say that they shall not be immoral in their tendencies ; if they are, the church supporting them must expect criticism, disfavour, and condemnation.
