In this significant cultural analysis, Carl R. Trueman traces the seismic shifts in our understanding of what it means to be human. By exploring the history of philosophy, psychology, and social trends, Trueman explains how the modern concept of the 'self' moved from objective, outward standards to inward, psychological feelings. He explores how this shift has profoundly reshaped the Western world, fueling the current sexual revolution and challenging traditional Christian beliefs. Engaging, scholarly yet accessible, this audiobook is essential listening for any Christian seeking to understand the 'why' behind today's cultural landscape. Whether you are navigating conversations at work, university, or within your community, this book provides the necessary framework to comprehend the challenges of our age with clarity, compassion, and firm theological conviction.
