The Book That Made Your World by Vishal Mangalwadi
How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization
The book argues that the Bible’s distinctive ideas—belief in a personal Creator, human dignity and equality, linear history, moral accountability, and the call to literacy and stewardship—helped produce many features of the modern world, such as science, universal education, rational enterprise and capitalism, property rights, rule of law, democracy, and the emancipation of women; it surveys historical episodes and intellectual shifts to show how these biblical concepts shaped Western institutions and warns that abandoning those foundations jeopardizes the freedoms and achievements they enabled.
