Book Synopsis



Descubre cómo fue que la Biblia se convirtió en la fuente de derechos humanos, justicia, heroísmo, optimismo, compasión, capitalismo, familia y moralidad.

En los años sesenta muchos occidentales viajaron a Oriente en busca de sabiduría espiritual. El libro que dio forma al mundo hace el viaje inverso. El filósofo indio Vishal Mangalwadi guía a los lectores en un viaje histórico a lo largo del último milenio, en el que explora cómo y por qué la Biblia reformó Europa y convirtió a Occidente en una civilización con una forma de pensar única: técnica y tolerante, científica y libre, justa y próspera. Los lectores aprenderán:

  • Por qué el presidente de los Estados Unidos pone la mano sobre la Biblia al prestar juramento para asumir un puesto laico.
  • Qué obligó a los monarcas ingleses a partir de Enrique VIII a someterse a la autoridad de la Biblia.
  • Por qué los traductores de la Biblia Wycliffe, Lutero y Tyndale se convirtieron en grandes revolucionarios de la historia.
  • De qué forma globalizó la Biblia la educación occidental.

Book that Made Your World

Discover how the Bible became the West's source of human rights, justice, heroism, optimism, compassion, capitalism, family, and morality.

In the 1960s many from the West went to the East in search of spiritual wisdom. El libro que dio forma al mundo will reverse the journey. Vishal Mangalwadi, an Indian philosopher, will take readers on a historical journey through the last millennium, exploring why and how the Bible reformed Europe and made the West a uniquely thinking civilization: technical and tolerant, scientific and free, just and prosperous. Readers will learn:

  • Why an American president puts his hand on the Bible to take the oath of a secular office
  • What forced British monarchs from Henry VIII to James I to submit to the Bible's authority
  • Why Bible translators Wycliffe, Luther, and Tyndale became history's greatest revolutionaries
  • How the Bible globalized western education
