Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

I'm so excited for you to listen to this conversation with Dr. Carl Truman.

You might have read some of his articles before he recently wrote a book called The Rise

and Triumph of the Modern Self where he really outlines the philosophical foundations for

how we understand who we are in mainstream culture today.

That gives us a lot of insight into, for example, transgender ideology and this entire

idea that we are our own gods that we determine our own truth.

Really a lot of stuff that we also talk about in my book as well, but he gives a lot of

academic and intellectual and philosophical and theological context for all of this.

It's just a fascinating book and a fascinating person to speak to.

He's also a professor, so I'm just so excited for you to listen to this dialogue without

further ado.

Here is Dr. Carl Truman.

Dr. Truman, thank you so much for joining me.

For those who don't know and haven't been reading your stuff like I have, can you tell

everyone who you are and what you do?

I'm a professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania.

I write at first things and public discourse online and I teach a variety of historical

and humanities courses here at Grove City College.

Yes, and you recently wrote a book published by Crossway called The Rise in Triumph of

the Modern Self, Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism and the Road to Sexual Revolution.
