Product Description

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.

  • 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
