Publisher's Summary
From Philosophy to Technology, Tracing the Origin of Identity Politics
How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of "expressive individualism." Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.
For fans of Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, this audiobook offers a more concise presentation and application of some of the most critical topics of our day. Individuals and groups can work through the book together with the Strange New World Study Guide and Strange New World Video Study, sold separately.

A little bit wordy but good
In nearly every paragraph there was something said which probably needed looking up in the dictionary or reflecting and digesting for a day or two. I let the book run and gleaned from it what I could ... some definite pearls of wisdom and insight. Recommend.

Very helpful history tour but marred by an oversimplification of all will be well in heaven in last chapter
Very interesting, author reads well, explores a very vast terrain helpfully of social and cultural changes. The ending is weak … still a worthwhile conversation partner.

A historical analysis of sexuality and gender
A reader's digest version of Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution. Also, has a concluding chapter on application, although it could still be more practical, nevertheless, interesting historical analysis.
