Carl Trueman - A Hidden Revolution of the Self
The early release of my conversation with theologian Carl Trueman on how our perception of the self has shifted and what it means for our lives today
2

We speak about the concept of the Self, the different visions it embodies across the ages, and how this perspective managed to infiltrate the popular imagination. We also speak about Expressive Individualism, authenticity, technology, romanticism, and much more.

Carl R. Trueman is a theologian and ecclesiastical historian, a professor of Biblical and Religious Studies at Grove City College, and the author of many books, including “The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self” and his newest book, “Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution.”
