About this episode

Carl Trueman discusses the challenges of contemporary society and the vision for the future as outlined in his book, The Desecration of Man.

Over the past ten years, Carl Trueman has proven to be one of the most incisive and helpful voices when it comes to identifying and understanding the problems of our contemporary world. In his new book, The Desecration of Man , Carl not only laments what we’ve lost, he calls us to a reclaim a positive vision for the future. Join Kevin and Carl as they talk about the state of higher education, where Protestants can learn from Catholics (and where they outshine Catholics), and what consecration looks like in a world that finds it exhilarating to (try to) deny humanity’s God-given constraints.
