The Book That Made Your World

How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization

By: Vishal Mangalwadi

Narrated by: Peter Lawrence

Understand where we came from.

Whether you're an avid student of the Bible or a skeptic of its relevance, The Book That Made Your World will transform your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of Western civilization.

Indian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi reveals the personal motivation that fueled his own study of the Bible and systematically illustrates how its precepts became the framework for societal structure throughout the last millennium. From politics and science, to academia and technology, the Bible's sacred copy 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;
• and 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.

Great

Very thorough and engaging. A detailed overview of how the bible shaped different cultures throughout history.

Insightful

A most enlightening book. It’s dense (in a good way).
Definitely worth your time, especially if you’re unconvinced of the claim that the Bible is the most important book in human history.

The History of the Word

Wow, this many faceted work is indeed a wonderful history and compelling case for the Word. Over some He will crush. In some He will reign forever. The world and time and it’s people will marvel at this survey of Gods grace antithetically demonstrated where the dark words of eastern thought reigned, and quite positively where the Light of the Word literally changed men and their people in every place. This is a very good testimony

Enlightening

First of all, I’m a Christian therefore my review might be bias.

This is a very good book that brings light to several foundations of the west civilization and its links to the Bible. The book, even stretching some connections in a few parts, proves how the Bible and its followers shaped the way the west organizes and values itself. A good history and religious book.
