"The Influence of the Bible on Civilisation" by Ernst von Dobschütz is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the profound role that the Bible has played throughout history in shaping Western civilization, particularly in relation to Christianity. The author aims to trace the Bible's historical impact and illustrates how it has influenced various aspects of life, society, and governance from early Christian communities to the medieval period. The opening of this work introduces the subject matter by discussing the Bible's indispensable role within the early Christian church, particularly during the first three centuries following Christ’s death. Dobschütz emphasizes that while Christianity was initially focused on the living experiences of faith, the Bible became crucial for its teachings and doctrines. He outlines the dynamics of how the early church engaged with the Scriptures, noting the development of a Christian canon and the Bible's essential position in persuading both Jews and Gentiles of the Christian message. Through historical context and analysis, the author sets the stage for a broader examination of the Bible's influence on different cultures and civilizational frameworks moving forward.
