Description
Modern culture is obsessed with identity. Since the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, debates around gender identity have dominated public discourse and cultural trends. Yet no historical development stands alone: from Augustine to Marx, many perspectives have shaped our modern view of the self.
In this timely work, Carl Trueman interprets the sexual revolution as a symptom—not the cause—of humanity’s search for identity. He surveys the past, sheds light on the present, and offers guidance for the future, equipping readers with a compass for navigating today’s cultural shifts.
