About this episode

Carl and Todd discuss the implications of modernity on human dignity and the significance of being made in the image of God.

Carl and Todd continue their engaging conversation about Carl's new book, The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity. Today, they delve into the implications of modernity on human dignity, exploring the tension between freedom and belonging, and the significance of being made in the image of God. The discussion also addresses contemporary issues surrounding reproductive technology and its impact on our understanding of humanity. I would say that's why anthropology is so critical. If you don't have an understanding of what it means to be a human being, then you're going to have all “the sky is the limit” to what technology can do. – Carl Trueman We were pleased to award two listeners a copy of Carl’s book, The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity, thanks to the generosity of Sentinel Publishing. Congratulations to Keith D. from Strong, ME and Michael L. from Wheaton, IL!
