- Drawing from his landmark book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism and the Road to Sexual Revolution, Dr. Carl Trueman shares how philosophies and worldviews developed over the past 300 years shape our current cultural confusion and conflict.
What are we to do as Christians in a culture that is changing constantly and becoming more hostile to traditional Judeo-Christian values? A first step would be to get a better handle on how we got to this point in the first place. Learn more in this insightful session from the C.S. Lewis Institute featuring Dr. Carl Trueman.

I'm reminded of the essay by CS. The poison of subjectivity. We are reaping the fruit of subjectivity
"No longer 'I think therefore I am,' but, 'I FEEL, therefore I am.'" - M. Teixeira
as a traditional Jew, I'm very grateful for this lecture. i am a great fan of Professor Truman's work.
Stunningly helpful! Thank you so much. The evangelical seminary, which I teach part time is rethinking their views on sexuality. I’m about to send a letter arguing for a biblical anthropology against the current ideologies. Please pray.
Thank you for your wonderful work! Everybody needs to hear this, but we know that won’t happen in this upside down world. Come Lord Jesus!
Loved this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the bravery and courage to continue speaking God’s light and truth into this world
God bless you all and may peace be with you
God speed
Really, really great talk here. Well presented with excellent context. I wish there was a love option here!
Very logically presented and very understandable. Thank you very much. God Bless you abundantly.
Brilliant. If only these ideas could be debated.
Very much enjoyed this talk, encouraging and insightful. Thank you and God bless you.
good stuff. Distinction between emotions and 'inner feeling (or intuitive knowledge?) is needed. As regards the ideas of Rousseau, not so very new, but rather different - more accentuated, in the times of industrial societies with breaking of traditional bonds.In other words, 'society' is suddenly and increasingly rather different.
I recall in my undergraduate European Intellectual History class pointing out that Rousseau had the audacity to write on teaching children, yet sent his away. The prof said, yes, he is a bundle of contradictions…😂
What is missing from this talk is any reference to Heidegger's insight into the lasting dominance of the Enlightenment's legacy of the cultural paradigm he described as the 'technological understanding of being in which everything is seen as a resource that has to be flexibly and efficiently used up', which now includes the desire to flexibly be whoever one wants to be.
Brilliant thinker!
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

15:20 body has authority over the feelings
In a materialist cosmology (the universe being nothing more and nothing less than material phenomena) it would at first glance seem logically consistent that our bodies are naturally available for surgical modification. Feelings trump biology. Our physiology must align with our authentic self. However, IF the material universe is all there is, our opinions and emotions are also nothing more, or less, than material phenomena. By what authority does one material phenomena have privilege over another?
Despite our own vigorous denials, we (humanity) act entirely as if "mind/self" functions outside of, and is dominant over, the material universe. This is completely bizarre.
Good point. We act as if the mind/self is a sort god (beyond the material, rules all) while simultaneously vigorously denying such powers exist.
Exactly. Leftism in a nutshell.
God help us.
Perhaps another way at looking at peoples feeling toward work would be to change one variable, the generation and keep the nature of the work the same. How would Dr Trueman feel about his work if he was doing the same job as his grandfather?
25:39 Freudian point, identify as your sexual desires
Starts at 6:30
Freud would bring everything down to sex. He was an obsessive psycho. Making sex the center of your life is an obsession in itself and a disorder - the first disorder that gives the rise to yet other links in this chain of disorders.
I think people have gone mad because of the overall wellbeing (ready made foods, everything ready on the shelves waiting for them starting from clothes, to all kinds of gadgets, so many variations that it's hard to pick one, which gives an illusion of choice at every step, a sense of control over their lives) and that led them to boredom and too much time on their hands. They have nothing to worry about so they look for problems where there aren't any which leads them to these sick ideas they keep coming up with. If they had to actually take care of their basic needs like growing food, preparing it in all kinds of ways, along with other things that normal people still do, they wouldnt have time to fantasize about all the delusions they have. They're unproductive, therefore the only things they bring to the table are something society doesn't need.
It disgusts me that there are poeple who think they are the only ones living in this world, which makes them automatically believe they are the center of the world and everyone should serve them, as if others didnt have actual problems of their own.
What I find strange in this analysis is the notion that those on the right are radical individualists. I do not see the right at all pushing sexual identity as the method of self-identification. Nor do I find the right denying social responsibility, or family cohesion - quite the reverse. These things come primarily, and by far, from the left.
Justification by faith is individualistic, but it is also biblical and therefore good. So, I can’t see it contributing to our current malaise. Rather, it is surely one half of the balance. Having been justified, we become a part of a community. The bible says both-and to individualism and community.
Please don’t get me wrong, I’ve got Prof Trueman’s book, and so much of what Prof Trueman says is profoundly illuminating. However, something is not coherent with the analysis, something is wrong. if it points to the right rather than the left. The book, I found is more helpful in that it traces the roots to the Frankfurt School. It doesn’t surprise me that the solution is actually pretty much traditional Christian values. The beauty of what Prof Trueman has done is to make us more alert and informed so that we are wiser in our response to culture.
The lecture was excellent ... Extremely helpful. However, your answer to the question basically "How shall we then live?" was weak & actually was promoting "come to our house & see how real people live. We'll role model to you."Isn't that also Self? Become like me? Like us? Please pass the butter?
I'd rather see a fray that doesn't unravel anyone but makes the weft tighter. Stronger.
I was hoping you'd bring Jesus into the picture. He promised to be in us. Transforming us. Paul wrote in Galatians 2:28...There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all are one in Christ Jesus.
You have a great grip on the issues. But Jesus went from theological stuff with the Pharisees to Matthew 18:3 Unless you are converted & become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
What? This is sandbox life. Congenial play & throwing sand & being angry & being friends anyway kind of stuff.
How shall we then live? Love one another.
tell Rupert Murdoch & DJ Trump ..., some of the stuff here... as strong as a 🕷 🕸
Hasn't it been strong now for decades? The social influence in some regions of America is too fast for me to understand like California looks great but I'm worried about women accusing me, setting me up or dogging me cause some little bruised ego got money to buy out of murder even you know? I seen some neggatives coordinate and make their psychological manipulation play in many ways it's scandalous and most people don't see it's like they've got team fundamentals to position themselves and the old one playing the wisdumb negg pulled a gun on me he didn't know then this other Mook thinking he scary finds out he ain't but the team play was what bug's me I can go in on them at work in public another job but it's too strong not like the actual activity they are doing to who knows how many cop's playing for them as the guilt of going to court on plant's or doing sexual favors or information to doing what they say see they going to hell.
You can be LGBT and Christian no problem
I can say that I can be a female & a Christian but Paul says in Gal 3:28, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. .... So just because I say something is true, doesn't make it The Truth
so basically dan, your proof of your argument is that , "Dan said it"
@@marchess7420 no. It's empirically true
@@dansaber8435 - hmmmm. for some reason Pastor/Professor Trueman doesn't seem to believe that. nor, i suspect, do the majority of the worlds Christians. i think it would be more accurate to say that christianity calls for people to be chaste, there are a variety of actions that are unchaste and sinful, all people sin, and God is loving and forgiving.
How?
