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
- 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.
Endorsements:
"This is an extremely significant piece of work with huge global
implications. Vishal brings a timely message." (Ravi Zacharias,
author, Walking from East to West and Beyond Opinion)
"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)
"Vishal Mangalwadi recounts history in very broad strokes,
always using his cross-cultural perspectives for highlighting the
many benefits of biblical principles in shaping civilization."

Fundamentalism and American Culture)

The book that most secular people don't want to exist. In the twilight of Western Civilization, this book highlights what we are losing. It shows you why you are the way you are, why (and how) you can think, and exactly why the West came to dominate the world.
