The impact of the Bible on our culture, on our
nation, on world history has been enormous! Author and former Yale professor
William Lyons Phelps observed:
"Our civilization is founded upon the Bible. More of our ideas, our wisdom, our philosophy, our literature, our art, our ideals come from the Bible than from all other books combined."
In a recent TIME magazine poll, more than 80% of Americans
identified the Bible as the most influential book in the history of the
world.
But what if the Bible had never been written? That's a
frightening thought! And yet, with Christian-bashing the only safe form of bigotry in
practice today, it seems that many people wish that that were the case.
The purpose of What If The Bible Had Never Been Written? is to demonstrate that the overall impact of the Bible on civilization has been overwhelmingly positive. The book documents the incredible ways the Scriptures have impacted our world. The volume is filled with all sorts of great quotes from notable leaders throughout our history.
