What reading level is Within Our Limits Essays On Questions Moral Religious And Historical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the history of the Church the bitter- ness of ritual differences has been partly due to the association of belief with rite ; still more, THE IMPORTANCE OF RITUAL 115 perhaps, to the rivalry, national, racial, or spiritual, of the authorities by which one or other form of ritual has been prescribed.
I have spoken several times of the reinterpreta- tion of religious ritual with the social and intellectual progress of society. This reinter- pretation is generally of a symbolic character. Intel...ligent people would often have repudiated venerable rites if there had not been some com- mentator at hand to explain what seemed puerile and to give a moral and spiritual meaning to what had originated without any significance of the kind. This was the way in which eclectic phil- osophers of the later Roman Empire treated the mysteries of Osiris and Isis, of Asclepios and of Mithras. This was the way, too, in which early Christian mystics, such as Dionysius the Areo- pagite, gave a pregnant meaning to every part of the sacramental ritual.
