Dr. Carl Trueman Breaks Down the Strange New World We Live In

Over the past few decades, culture has shifted so rapidly that young people are growing up in a world that would be incomprehensible to someone living even just one generation ago. On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, Christian author and philosopher Dr. Carl Trueman sheds light on what’s happening in this strange new world we’re living in, how we got here, and what the church can do to respond.

When you listen in to this conversation between Dr. Trueman and David Wollen, you’ll gain a better understanding of the many cultural viewpoints that are shaping modern society. It’s a significant topic for each of us to consider as an increasing number of people are struggling to reconcile their Christian beliefs with the culture at large. Rather than digging a foxhole, it’s important for followers of Christ to understand these cultural shifts in order to engage others with the truth of God’s Word.

Historian Carl Trueman shows how cultural influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics. Trueman then goes on to explain the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.
