What reading level is The War And Preaching book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sheer necessity for the Christianising of modern public life is so great and press- ing, that it were worth the loss of some individuaHstic fervour, even if it were admitted that such loss is inevi- table. At such an hour the words of Christ are applicable to the Church as much as to the individual, "He that will save his life shall lose it. '' By far the greatest danger in this whole department is that of inexpert preaching upon highly specialised and complex questions. Of Montaigne it was... said that he "loved listening to folks, however humble, who knew their subject" ; and, in dealing with public questions, the first necessity is to know one's subject. Here there is no room for safe and pious platitudes ; if we speak at all we must say something. It is a part of the preacher's work which he must do well or leave alone. He who preaches author- itatively about burning questions, with inaccurate knowl- edge of the facts, or of the bearing of the facts, is taking the surest way to discredit not only his own ministry, but 129 THE WAR AND PREACHING the influence of the pulpit as a whole.
