How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization. Discover how the Bible became the West's source of human rights, justice, heroism, optimism, compassion, capitalism, family, and morality.
In the 1960s many from the West went to the East in search of spiritual wisdom. "The Book that Made Your World" will reverse the journey. Vishal Mangalwadi, an Indian philosopher, will take readers on a historical journey through the last millennium, exploring why and how the Bible reformed Europe and made the West a uniquely thinking civilization: technical and tolerant, scientific and free, just and prosperous. Readers will learn:
* Why an American president puts his hand on the Bible to take the oath of a secular office
* What forced British monarchs from Henry VIII to James I to submit to the Bible's authority
* Why Bible translators Wycliffe, Luther, and Tyndale became history's greatest revolutionaries
* How the Bible globalized Western education
"This book is well overdue! If there is one book that has shaped Europe's art, architecture, commerce, education, ethics, family life, freedom, government, healthcare, law, language, literature, music, politics, science, social reform, and much more, it is the Bible. Yet biblical illiteracy is almost universal in Europe today. We need Vishal's clear, prophetic, Eastern voice to jolt us back to reality before our rich biblical heritage slips beyond our grasp." --Jeff Fountain, director, Schuman Centre for European Studies, the Netherlands
"With solid, detailed information, clarity of presentation, and logical force, Vishal Mangalwadi enables anyone willing to see how our 'Western' world depends entirely upon what the Bible, and it alone, teaches about reality and how to live." Dallas Willard, author, The Divine Conspiracy and The Great Omission
"In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. A serious discussion on the Bible can bring outright contempt. Therefore, it is most refreshing to encounter this engaging and informed assessment of the Bible's profound impact on the modern world. Where Bloom laments the closing of the American mind, Mangalwadi brings a refreshing optimism." Stanley Mattson, founder and president, C. S. Lewis Foundation
