What reading level is Truth in Religion And Other Sermons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though the etymology of a word is no certain guide to its present meaning, in this case it is surely not illegiti- mate to contend that we may rightly use asceticism to denote not merely the severe mortification of the body, but also, and more correctly, that bracing discipline of body, mind, and will which makes each of them better fitted to do its own special work. Nor can there be any historic likelihood that Judaism teaches a soft morality, an easy-going religion. It would not be difficult ...to show XV ASCETICISM 207 that Judaism has always agreed with the Greek motto, "Hard is the good." As becomes a religion which has had more voluntary martyrs than perhaps any other creed, it has never denied, indeed it has always urged, that the lesser good must be sacrificed for the sake of the greater good, and that even life itself must be readily given up for the sake of Truth and Fidelity.
Those of you who were present in this hall last Sabbath may remember that I put forward certain contrasted ideals of life under the names of Epicureanism and Stoicism respectively.
