What reading level is The Pulpit Commentary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mark — II. The peocess of his fall. It must not be dated strictly from the temptation before which he fell. There is always, or almost always, some declension before a feU. No one falls into crime by one stumble. Can we trace the process ? The writer of the Apocalypse, with his power of going straight to the mark, sums up in one word: He loved the wages of iniquity ; not iniquity, but what iniquity could give him. First the selling of his spiritual power was a declension. To seek God's light in... order to get man's money was an activity damaging to his con- science. Whether it be the sale of masses, absolutions, indulgences, or oracles, the vitiation is in each case the same. A seemingly slender line divides Samuel's acceptance of an honorarium from Balaam's eager desire for it. But seeming alike, they essentially differ. In Balaam's case the greed ^ot headway, and instead of the prophet's simple acceptance of gifts as a means of hving, there was a valuing of aU his spiritual powers and privileges only for their market value.
