This is thinking in public, a program dedicated to intelligent conversation about

front-line theological and cultural issues with the people who are shaping them.

I'm Albert Molar, your host and president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville,

Kentucky.

Carl Truman is professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College in Pennsylvania.

He earned his Master of Arts in the Classics from the University of Cambridge and his PhD in church history

from the University of Aberdeen.

Professor Truman has a distinguished and well-known career as both a teacher and an author, having

published several books ranging from works on reformation theology and history to biographies

on figures such as John Owen and Martin Luther.

More recently he's the author of the book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self,

Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and The Road to Sexual Revolution. That work led to the most and the

work led to the most recent of his works,

and it's that work we discussed today.

Strange new world,

how thinkers and activists redefined identity

and sparked the sexual revolution. and

Carl Truman, welcome to thinking in public.

Great to be here, Al.

Thanks for having you on again.

Very much. I appreciate you, our friendship through the years, and frankly, the ability to think through so many of the issues that you have so cogently addressed.
