À propos de cet audio
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An essential perspective on Western civilization
Drawing on the historical record, and his own powerful experiences growing up and living in India, the author compares and contrasts the history of Indian and Western civilization.
At a time when the West is experiencing massive contextual collapse, (that is, losing the sense of what foundations, ideas, and realities have enabled the West to become the relative paradise that it is) Mangalwadi takes great pains to draw the readers attention to the very ideas and efforts, grounded in the Bible, which transformed peoples, nations, and entire empires out of barbarism and into the civilized world.

enlightening and refreshing
Thank you for this text. It's a story not well told in today's world. That the Bible and its purveyors have perpetrated incredible good through the value of individuals and the call to service in the name of our Lord.

Informative with preaching tone
It's a very informative book, but the author often gets carried away with preaching tone that makes it like a church sermon. It would have been better to be more towards the neutral historical analysis to reach more audience.

Excellent book!
It is obvious the author is passionate about his subject. He draws on experience and history to make his point that the Bible has made the modern western world. It is well researched and well rounded unlike some other books of the same nature that read more like religious propaganda. I really recommend this book. The narration is excellent a well.

Its anti-Catholicism discredits the author
The Autor spends almost as much time arguing for protestant Christianity by bashing, straw-manning and misrepresenting the Catholic Church, that it discredits his over all message. Although I agree with the overall message, it an author makes so many poor arguments against the catholic church, it makes one wonder if his other arguments are of equal caliber.
Could not finish it, it got really disgusting
