Message of the Month – Vishal Mangalwadi
Vishal Mangalwadi
Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve had a kind of love affair with India for most of my adult life.
Nevertheless my admiration for Indian scholar Vishal Mangalwadi is anything but sentimental. I am genuinely impacted every time I hear him speak. It’s the same kind of impact I felt when I first read the works of Francis Schaeffer.
Somewhat guided by his notes (!), but also peppered with stunning digressions and off-the-cuff insights, his teaching energises me every single time.
Vishal's book about the role of the Bible in creating the West
He is currently working on a book about the central influence of the Bible in the development of the Western World, which, coming from an Eastern perspective, is intriguing.
This message is part of his material for that book. To be honest, I could have chosen any one of these messages but I thought the title alone might grab your interest.
The Message – Vishal Mangalwadi: ‘Why are some so rich while other are so poor?’

its fine
‘The Book that Made Your World’ is an extraordinary work of rich insights. Looking at the world through Indian eyes, has given me a fresh appreciation for the gospel. And his research is amazing. He digs up stories from all over the place. I highly commend this book. It is excellent to read aloud with another person, and to discuss along the way!
Cheers.
