What reading level is The Ways of the Gods book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every book was divine ; every word inspired.
The effect of this innovation upon the religious life of the people was revolutionary. It changed radically the mode of man's approach to God. The old form of worship by means of animal sacrifice gave place to the hearing of the word. When we think of primitive religious v/orship, Jewish and Gentile, and remember that every temple was a slaughter- house; that the priests of the Greek gods were called butch- ers ; that when one came near a house of wo...rship, one heard the lowing of cattle and the bleating of sheep, and within the house one was sickened by the smell of fresh blood and burning flesh, it is easily seen how great was the change from such a worship as this to a worship which consisted of read- ing and hearing a book.
It is not to be inferred that those who were at the first engaged in this mode of divine worship were conscious of the revolution that they were effecting. Far from it. Their songs are songs of bitter regret that they cannot sacrifice 142 THE WAYS OF THE GODS their offerings of blood on the altar of their God in Jerusalem.
