S2E1 - Strange New World by Carl Trueman (Part 1)

In part one of this first episode of season two of the Berean Bookclub we chat through Strange New World by Carl Trueman.

In this book, we take a journey with Trueman to understand how the modern man has come to think about himself, and how we have come to understand our identities. He does this by looking at various thinkers through the years, and explaining how they have come to shape our cultures and the way we think. Not only does he look at people like Marx, Nietzche and Oscal Wild, but he also considers technology and economics and how they have contributed to how we think about ourselves. If you are feeling confused about the strange new world that you find yourself in right now this book helps us make sense of it, see how we're complicit in it and hopefully get us to a place where we can talk about it better.

In this episode, we speak through how it has come to be that our inner feelings are the most important part of us; how religion, the state and families have come to have less influence on what we believe to be right and wrong; what a world looks like that has moved from external communal authorities to internal individual authorities and the effect this has on the church and inter-generational discipleship.
