Good Press, 2019

In "The Influence of the Bible on Civilisation," Ernst von Dobschvºtz meticulously examines the profound impact that biblical texts have had on the framework of Western civilization. With a scholarly yet accessible style, Dobschvºtz weaves together historical analysis, theological insights, and cultural critiques to illuminate the Bible's role in shaping ethics, law, and social norms throughout history. Drawing on a wide array of sources, he reflects on the intertwining of biblical narratives with the development of literature, art, and political thought, situating the text within the rich tapestry of cultural evolution from antiquity to modern times. Ernst von Dobschvºtz, a prominent theologian and biblical scholar of the early 20th century, was driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of scriptural texts. His academic background, marked by a keen interest in the historical-critical method, equipped him to approach the subject with both reverence and rigor. This work emerges from his desire to reveal the Bible not merely as a religious document, but as a cornerstone of civilizational identity, reflecting his commitment to theology's intersection with social sciences. "The Influence of the Bible on Civilisation" is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding the undercurrents that have shaped contemporary thought and societal frameworks. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it essential reading for scholars, theologians, and history enthusiasts alike, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of biblical wisdom in today'Äôs world.
