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

The Bible has increased the morality of the west while at the same time decreased the amount of corruption. (E.G., consider the Heidelberg Catechism and the positive impact its teaching on the 10 commandments have had on countries like Holland.)

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.
