Synopsis
Understand the world around you better when you learn how the Bible transformed and sustained Western culture for the past millennium.
Whether you're an avid student of the Bible or a skeptic of its relevance, The Book That Made Your World will reshape your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of Western civilization.
In The Book That Made Your World, Indian author, philosopher, and intellectual, Vishal Mangalwadi systematically illustrates how precepts from the Bible became the framework for societal structure throughout the last millennium. From politics and science to academia and technology, the Bible became the key that unlocked the Western mind.
Through Mangalwadi's wide-ranging and fascinating investigation, you'll discover:
- What triggered the West's passion for scientific, medical, and technological advancement
- How the biblical notion of human dignity informs the West's social structure and how it intersects with other worldviews
- How the Bible created a fertile ground for women to find social and economic empowerment
- How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West to cultivate compassion, human rights, prosperity, and strong families
- The role of the Bible in the transformation of education
- How the modern literary notion of a hero has been shaped by the Bible's archetypal protagonist
Journey with Mangalwadi as he examines the origins of a civilization's greatness and the misguided beliefs that threaten to unravel its progress. Learn how the Bible transformed the social, political, and religious institutions that have sustained Western culture for the past millennium, and discover how secular corruption endangers the stability and longevity of Western civilization.
