Fred Trueman
Fred Trueman was so much more than a cricketing legend. ‘The greatest living Yorkshireman’ according to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, he couldn’t help excelling at everything he did, whether it was as a hostile fast bowler for Yorkshire and England, and the first man to take 300 Test wickets in a career, or as a fearlessly outspoken radio summariser for Test Match Special. He was famous for regularly spluttering that, ‘I don’t know what’s going off out there,’ as well as for the amount of swearing he managed to incorporate into everyday speech. Beloved of cricket crowds, who filled grounds to witness his belligerent way of playing the game, and nothing but trouble to the cricke...

The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
Modern culture is obsessed with identity. Since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015, sexual identity has dominated both public discourse and cultural trends—and yet, no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of self. In The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Carl Trueman carefully analyzes the roots and development of the sexual revolution as a symptom, rather than the cause, of the human search for identity. This timely exploration of the history of thought behind the sexual revolution teaches readers about the past, brings clarity to the present, and gives guidance for the future as Christians navigate the culture's ever-changing search for identity.

Summary of Carl R. Trueman's Strange New World
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The world we live in today is extremely confusing, and it can be difficult for older generations to understand it. The generation gap today is reflected not just in fashion and music, but in attitudes and beliefs about some of the most basic aspects of human existence. #2 The self is the foundation of our experience of the world, and it is what makes us navigate the chaos around us. It is the connection between three concepts that are relevant to my narrative: expressive individualism, the sexual revolution, and the social imaginary. #3 The modern self is defined by what is called expressive individualism. The modern self assumes the authority of inner feelings and sees authenticity as defined by the ability to give social expression to the same. #4 The modern self is one where authenticity is achieved by acting outwardly in accordance with one’s inward feelings. This notion of selfhood is very deep in modern culture, and it helps to explain a host of interesting phenomena.
Summary of Carl R. Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The modern self is the result of a long and complicated process, and I can only briefly outline some of the key ideas that help set the scene for the interpretation of our contemporary world. #2 The current mindset of the West is characterized by a highly individualistic, sexually obsessed, and materialistic culture. This mindset has almost completely dispensed with the idea of any authority beyond that of personal, psychological conviction. #3 The social imaginary is the way people think about the world and how they act intuitively in relation to it. It is not so much a conscious philosophy of life as a set of intuitions and practices. It is the totality of the way we look at our world, and how we make sense of our behavior within it. #4 The idea of the self that makes transgenderism possible is a culmination of many different cultural phenomena, not just theoretical and philosophical rationales.
