Clark’s Reviews > The Book That Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization > Status Update

Luther said, It is not many books that make men learned, nor even reading. But it is a good book frequently read, no matter how small it is, that makes a man learned in the Scriptures and godly." ALSO interesting to learn how the puritans started Harvard University within the first decade of arriving in America. Bible inspired to start colleges so that we could establish “dominion” over the earth.

It’s really cool too learn about William Tyndale and his courage and sacrifice to Translate the Bible into English. Also interesting to learn about the Geneva Bible, and how many of the results and works of William Tyndale are found in it. It took 50 years for the king James Bible to out sell the Geneva Bible.

Great summarization of the reformers and how they got the Bible in the hands of English speaking people rather than only the Roman Catholic leaders that thought scripture should only be translated in Latin bulk and not English for English speaking peasants.
