Strange New World

How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution
Book • 2022
In 'Strange New World', Carl R. Trueman provides a historical and philosophical analysis of how Western culture has evolved towards an era of 'expressive individualism'.

He traces the influence of thinkers such as Rousseau, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud, and explains how these ideas have shaped modern identity politics, particularly in the context of the sexual revolution.

The book is a more accessible version of his earlier work, 'The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self', and includes application questions for individual and group study.

Trueman offers a Christian perspective on these issues, helping readers understand and navigate the complexities of contemporary culture.
