Carl Trueman: Euthanasia, transgenderism, and transgression

Carl Trueman: Euthanasia, transgenderism, and transgression

By almost every material measure life has become safer, richer, and more convenient... so why do many people seem more anxious, lonely, and unhappy?

We often explain this malaise in economic or psychological terms but Carl Trueman argues that its deepest cause is spiritual: Western societies have rejected the belief that human beings have a given nature that dictates what is good for us.

Carl Trueman, a Professor at Grove City College, is the author of several best selling books including The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self and The Desecration of Man.
