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.
