For fans of Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, this new book offers a more concise presentation and application of some of the most critical topics of our day.moreĬarl Trueman distills his larger The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self while still offering a fresh and original work that presses his argument in under 200 pages.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R.
