The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self
Carl Trueman
Unhitched from traditional sources of identity like the family, religion, and local community, we aren’t feeling fun and free but loss and adrift. Secularism’s outline for identity formation isn’t delivering on its promises. Carl Trueman tells modernity’s story refracted through the lenses of identity, sex, and politics. Trueman examines how each has changed, and explains the core ideas behind their transformation.
Every age has had its darkness and its dangers. The task of the Christian is not to whine about the moment in which he or she lives but to understand its problems and respond appropriately to them.
