What reading level is The Relation of Christianity to Modern Civilization book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It taught the rude barbarian the majesty of law, in what he deemed a most sacred and unimpeachable repository. It secured in his mind the habit of absolute submission to an authority higher than mere brute strength, and taught him that first law of all civilization, obedience to a moral power, by virtue of a moral force, and thus prepared his wild and untamed nature for submission to other repositories of power, and finally, by separating the temporal and spiritual powers, it taught the great b...asis truth of liberty of conscience, that physical power has no right to coerce the honest convictions of the soul.
It is not too much to say that, had it not been for the conservative influence of the Christian church during this period, the downfall of Roman civilization, like that of Egyptian, Assyrian and Grecian glory, would now have been marked only by such mournful relics of perished grandeur, as those that lie strewed over the lonely solitudes of Memphis and Babylon, and the dead cities of the old and buried world.
