Strange New World
The world we’re living in today is virtually unrecognizable from the one we grew up in. The question is, how did we get from there to here? And how should the church respond?
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.
Strange New World offers a concise presentation and application of some of the most critical topics of our day, providing an indispensable resource for individuals or small groups to better understand the increasingly strange world we’re living in and what the church can do to respond.
