What reading level is The World We Live in book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The priests and rulers, finding that they could not stop it, adroitly turned it aside by establishing a new religion in his name and grafting thereon some of the worst elements of paganism. This church con- tained nothing of primitive Christianity except the name. Their interpretation of God was degrading. The children He called into existence, and who were not re- sponsible for their own shortcomings. He doomed to eternal misery. They also deified a Devil who vied with the Al- mighty in the co
...ntrol of the universe.
THROUGH THE AGES 63 Not a very honest fellow, for he some- times took more than his share, but a very convenient scapegoat to bear the sins of a church over which, at times, he ap- peared to hold complete sway.
Splendid temples and cathedrals came into existence. Bishops, priests, monks and friars sprang up as thick as briars in a deserted field; great, sensuous fel- lows, who fed on the fat of the land, claiming to be intermediates between God and man, wringing out of heart-stricken humanity the hard earnings of the poor, on the plea that they had power to get the souls of their friends out of purgatory.
