What reading level is Theism And the Christian Faith Lectures Delivered in the Harvard Divinity Scho book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The dynamic aspect of human nature is this teleological principle working in man. The pressure of the individual toward the higher life, this pressure which is not from without but from within, is the manifestation consciously of that advance, hitherto imconscious, which has been taking place from the beginning of the world. Here is the justification of the use of the term "nature" to describe the higher life of man. The static aspect is natural, for all life must have a starting-point. But the... static exists only that it may be overcome and give place to something higher. When the static impulse is obeyed, when a man rests in the static aspect of his nature, then his life becomes unnatural, as unnatural as the life of the grain of wheat which has been preserved in some Eg^^ptian tomb and so restrained for cen- turies from all development and growth.
Of course, if no principle of teleology is recognized, or something that is the equivalent of such a principle, there is no absolute standard by which to determine what is natural; one thing is as natural as any other thing, one condition or aspect of life as much according to nature as another.
