Why the Modern World Is at War with Human Nature

In this discussion, they trace the long arc from the Renaissance to today: how the rejection of God didn't just change our theology but degraded our very sense of what a person is, how "spiritual but not religious" isn't a recent invention but the inevitable endpoint of centuries of ideas.  THE DESECRATION OF MAN - https://amzn.to/3Ocx1Lt Carl Trueman argues that modern man's crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact—that he was made in the image of God.
