Publisher's summary

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.

very informative

I love reading books that build my faith . I feel so thankful for our western culture . it is sad that so few of our people realize the treasure we have been granted.

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.

A must read book for the believer and the wonderer

To me, the Bible is the most important book ever written. I have maintained that belief even during my prodigal years. This book lays out the reasoning so sound, and you will not be able to escape it. Therefore, I challenge any non-believer to read this book. The Bible's influence is irrefutable.

Excellent Analysis from a unique perspective

An excellent analysis from a unique perspective. I really enjoyed the way he discussed and explained the impact of the Gospel and Bible on the world. I highly recommend…

Amazing book!

This author takes some ideas that you may already vaguely know or understand and expounds on them greatly to the point where you are fully convinced and understand the point he is trying to make. The author also writes in a creative, intelligent, persuasive and entertaining way. Highly recommend.

It’s is a summary of God’s providential hand for the liberty

I loved it .. wish to hear it in Spanish and waiting for the third revolution of the education . Wow Vishal is your testimony as ama an Indian tasting the fruits of liberty in America . That’s the key foundation, understanding God’s purpose for the nations help us to value the remnant and work for it . I live in latinoamerica and I embraced the matrix of liberty .. as using the word of God as the constitution and the one that governs our decisions and every sphere of influence . I enjoy this complete compilation of the Christian worldview through history

Gen 22:18 all the nations of the earth will be blessed

Amazing book! Read it twice and now on third time, quickly signed up for audible so i could keep at it while working.

Todays Christians have a stunted view of their faith, this book shows in detail how w out Christian faith everything would be a shadow of itself

And as atheist Tom Holland puts it western civ is dying because it lost its faith and we need more Christianity to save it

HBOMB

I would strongly suggest getting a physical copy of this book before certain platforms remove it in all digital format or otherwise. *Signs of the times.*
