The significance of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self . . . is hard to overstate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Rod Dreher, from the Foreword<\/p>\n<p>Modern culture is obsessed with identity. Since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015, sexual identity has dominated both public discourse and cultural trends\u2014yet no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of the self.<\/p>\n<p>In this timely book, Carl Trueman analyzes the development of the sexual revolution as a symptom\u2014rather than the cause\u2014of the human search for identity. Trueman surveys the past, brings clarity to the present, and gives guidance for the future as Christians navigate the culture in humanity\u2019s ever-changing quest for identity.<\/p>\n<p> <br \/>\n
