Guest: Dr. Carl Trueman | Dr. Arnold interviews Dr. Trueman about his latest book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Topics of conversation include: 1) How has the philosophy of Western society developed and evolved throughout history? 2) In what ways do the works of Charles Taylor, Philip Rieff, and Alasdair MacIntyre help us understand the nature of the world today? 3) What level of complicity has the church contributed to this movement? 4) What can we do as Christians moving forward in the current culture?
