What reading level is Understanding the Scriptures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all such discussions as this we proceed at peril of beingmisunderstood, but we must repeatedly affirm that important as is theproblem as to the human ideal set forth in Christ, the divine ideal setforth in him is more significant as explaining the hold of the Bible onmen. Is it not sufficient for us to behold a lofty human ideal in theportrait of Christ without such emphasis on this ideal as also arevelation of the divine character? The answer depends upon what we aremost interested in. If w...e care most for a perfect and symmetrical humanlife, we reply that we find that perfection and symmetry in Christ. Inour second chapter we laid such stress upon the importance of theenlarging human ideal that we have committed ourselves to the importanceof the Christ ideal as a revelation of the possibilities of human life. But if we take that ideal in itself without any reference to thecharacter of God, how much enlargement does it bring us? As members ofthe human race we can indeed be proud that a human being has climbed tosuch moral stature as did Jesus, but what promise does that give thatany other human being can attain to his stature?
