'The Desecration of Man' w/ Dr. Carl Trueman
About this episode
Dr. Carl Trueman discusses the implications of a society that has moved away from God, as explored in his book 'The Desecration of Man'.
When the madman from Friedrich Nietzsche's book The Gay Science burst into the marketplace declaring the murder of God, he concluded that he had arrived too soon, for those who had killed God were tragically unaware. What happens when we no longer shape our lives by the assurances and expectations, the wisdom and graces of God? Man and woman become desecrated. Join Dr. Carl Trueman and I as we explore our cultural calamity and the way to recovery in his gripping book The Desecration of Man on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast .
