What is the heart of the sexual revolution and who are the key thinkers behind it?

Given the tensions about sexuality and identity, how can we Christians best respond to our cultural moment?

Our guest today, Carl Truman,

has written a fascinating new book called

Strange New World.

I'm your host, Sean McDowell. I'm your co-host Scott Ray.

Welcome to Think Bibically, a podcast brought to by Talbot School Theology,

Biola University. Carl, I love your book. Let's dive right into cover as much as we can. Tell us what's the heart of

the question you're exploring in the book again titled Strange New World?

Well first of all thanks very much for having you back on again titled Strange New World.

Well, first of all, thanks very much for having you back

on the show guys.

It's very pleasant to be here.

And that's a great question.

And I think the answer is, well, what I trying to do in Strangely New World was two things, well, let me say, three things, how right I keep multiplying them. One, I wanted to provide a decent summary of the larger book. I think that you interviewed me about last time

the Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self that would be more accessible and

easier for people who don't have time to read a 400 page book so it's a summary of really of a book there that was trying to get to the question of why the statement I'm a woman trapped in a man's body has come to make sense.

Secondly, I wanted to address some of the themes that I thought about since writing that book. I've become more interested in the role of technology in how our understanding of the world has been

transformed in recent days. And thirdly, I wanted, of course, the book, the original book was written in 2019 before the summer of 2020 when everything went haywire.

I also wanted to explore to see if there's something that binds together all of the

fragmented political chaos that seems to be engulfing the West at the moment.

So the book tried to do those three things, I guess.
