When you scroll through social media feeds today, you'll find countless posts about “living your truth” and “being authentic.” These ideas feel so natural to us now that we rarely stop to ask where they came from or what they really mean.The concept of identity — how we understand ourselves — has undergone a radical transformation over the centuries. What once was defined primarily by external markers like family, profession, and community has shifted dramatically toward inner feelings, desires, and psychological experiences.Today on the show, Carl Trueman unpacks this profound change and how we got to the lens through which we view ourselves today. Carl is a professor, theologian, and the author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Throughout our conversation, he explores the insights of three key thinkers — Charles Taylor, Philip Rieff, and Alasdair MacIntyre — who have mapped the historical and cultural shifts that have transformed our ideas of identity. We discuss how this transformation has reshaped politics, education, and religion, while considering whether we've lost something essential in moving from a shared understanding of human nature to an increasingly individualized conception of self.Resources Related to the PodcastThe Triumph of the Therapeutic: Uses of Faith After Freud by Philip RieffSources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity by Charles TaylorAfter Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory by Alasdair MacIntyreThe Abolition of Man by C.S.

Today, people are increasingly defining themselves by gender, ethnicity, and other social groupings. How should the Church respond? Investigating the philosophies of the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, Dr. Carl Trueman will show how influences ranging from traditional institutions to modern technology have nudged culture in a sexual direction---and reveal their impact on religion, free speech, and personal identity.

Introduction chapter of Carl Trueman's Crisis of Confidence

Ver aquí: https://teologiaparavivir.com/trueman-salario/. Páginas: 195-244. Trueman sostiene que el descuido del contexto histórico bíblico y de la teología sistemática ha llevado a una comprensión diluida de las creencias cristianas fundamentales, en particular en lo que respecta a la importancia de acontecimientos históricos como la resurrección. Critica además la prioridad que se da a valores mundanos como la salud, la riqueza y la felicidad sobre las realidades espirituales, ejemplificada por la prevalencia de los mensajes del Evangelio de la prosperidad y la falta de lamentos en el culto moderno. El programa también aborda el insuficiente compromiso con el Antiguo Testamento y el desequilibrio teológico resultante, sugiriendo que esto contribuye a la percepción de irrelevancia de la Iglesia en el mundo moderno. Por último, advierte contra la desproporcionada atención que se presta en la Iglesia a la cuestión de la homosexualidad, argumentando que es sintomática de defectos teológicos más profundos.

Preface of "Crisis of Confidence" by Carl Trueman

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre los fundamentos bíblicos de los credos y confesiones de fe; de acuerdo capítulo 6 "La utilidad de los Credos y Confesiones de Fe" del libro El Imperativo Confesionahttps://teologiaparavivir.com/trueman-imperativo-confesional/ por Carl Trueman. Ver aquí: . Páginas: 201-243. Trueman sostiene que la afirmación «no hay más credo que la Biblia» es bíblicamente insostenible. Sostiene que todos los cristianos poseen intrínsecamente un credo, un resumen de la enseñanza bíblica, que informa su interpretación de las Escrituras. El autor aboga por credos y confesiones públicos, afirmando que promueven la claridad, limitan el poder de los dirigentes eclesiásticos, ofrecen resúmenes concisos de la fe y fomentan tanto la unidad interna de las iglesias como el entendimiento ecuménico entre ellas. Además, el programa explora el proceso de revisión o complementación de las confesiones existentes, subrayando la importancia de un examen cuidadoso y de los procesos eclesiásticos establecidos. En última instancia, la obra defiende el uso de credos y confesiones como componentes vitales, no opcionales, de una iglesia bíblicamente fiel.

Dr. Carl Trueman of Grove City College To Change All Worlds Strange New World The post Critical Theory – Dr. Carl Trueman, 2/27/25 (0582) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

We are excited to have Carl Trueman on the podcast today. Carl discusses his some of his recent books, including To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse, which provides an introductory intellectual history of Critical Theory, primarily non-polemically. In this episode, Carl walks us through the key figures and orienting ideas of Frankfurt School and Critical Theory. What is the connection between Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory? How can pastors steward the church's confession as they help congregations navigate their contexts which may be influenced by these ideas? This and more on today's episode. Exiles in Babylon

Ver aquí: . Páginas: 55-96. El programa explora la importancia de los credos y confesiones dentro del cristianismo. Sostiene que una comprensión bíblicamente fiel exige reconocer la centralidad de la palabra de Dios, tanto en la creación como en la revelación, y la inherente necesidad humana de expresión lingüística de la fe. Trueman afirma además que una naturaleza humana común une a los individuos a través del tiempo y la cultura, apoyando la relevancia de las declaraciones teológicas históricas. Por último, destaca el establecimiento en el Nuevo Testamento de la iglesia como institución con funciones de enseñanza y liderazgo autorizadas, responsable de preservar y transmitir la sana doctrina, ejemplificada por el concepto de «una forma de palabras sanas.» Siguenos: - Web: https://teologiaparavivir.com/ - Blog: https://semperreformandaperu.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teologiaparavivir/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teologiaparavivir/ - Youtube: https://www.instagram.com/teologiaparavivir/

Ver aquí: https://teologiaparavivir.com/trueman-salario/. Páginas: 43-103. El programa explora la creciente brecha entre la teología evangélica y la cultura contemporánea, centrándose especialmente en el paso de una sociedad basada en la palabra a otra impulsada por lo visual. Sostiene que este cambio cultural, ejemplificado por el dominio de la televisión y el auge del pensamiento posmoderno, socava la centralidad del lenguaje y las Escrituras, cruciales para la fe evangélica. Trueman propone una respuesta teológica que subraya la importancia bíblica de las palabras como fundamento de la relación con Dios y la humanidad, estableciendo paralelismos con el énfasis de la Reforma en las Escrituras y la predicación. Por último, sugiere formas de salvar la brecha entre el mundo académico teológico y la iglesia, abogando por un enfoque renovado de la autoridad de las Escrituras, una comprensión equilibrada de la experiencia y la doctrina, y un compromiso humilde con la tradición teológica.

In this episode, Andrea Burke and Kevin Maloney discuss Carl Trueman's recent Guest Speaker visit to Grace Road and his sermon on the transfiguration in Mark 9. Kevin and Andrea also discuss the Bills' heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs, and what's ahead for the spring. 

This Sunday, we are blessed to welcome theologian, professor, and ecclesiological historian Dr. Carl Trueman. Trueman walks us through the meaning and significance of the Transfiguration, an important moment in the life and ministry of Jesus. As he breaks down the various themes and historical context of the scene, Trueman shows us that the purpose of the Transfiguration is threefold:1) Jesus is significant2) Jesus is significant because of who He is3) Jesus is significant because of what He is doing

Ver aquí: https://teologiaparavivir.com/trueman-salario/.  El Salario de las Piruetas, es una colección de ensayos que critican el evangelicalismo histórico y contemporáneo. Trueman argumenta que gran parte del evangelicalismo moderno ha abandonado sus raíces históricas, prefiriendo la novedad a la tradición y los medios visuales a los argumentos razonados. Examina la influencia del pensamiento ilustrado, el consumismo y el posmodernismo en esta tendencia. Trueman explora además las implicaciones para la teología, en particular por lo que respecta a la autoridad bíblica, la relación entre fe y experiencia y la importancia de los credos y las confesiones. Por último, insta a volver a un enfoque de la fe y la práctica evangélicas más fundamentado históricamente y teológicamente sólido.

In his new book, Dr. Carl Trueman writes, “The very rhetoric and concepts of critical theory, the other, intersectionality, and their like have become influential tools of wielding power rather than dismantling it. And so—as Frankfurt School members Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno themselves would no doubt point out—things have become their opposite; the liberator has become the tyrant, the tools of freedom have become the weapons of oppression.” Perhaps Goethe's Mephistopheles captures critical theory best when he uttered to Faust, “I am the spirit that negates.” Join me and Dr. Carl Trueman as we discuss the philosophy and the danger of critical theory in his new book To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse.

El libro defiende la necesidad de credos y confesiones en el cristianismo evangélico, en contra de la creencia común de que sólo basta con la Biblia. Trueman sostiene que los credos son esenciales para mantener la ortodoxia teológica, fomentar la unidad y protegerse de las trampas de las influencias culturales contemporáneas que socavan la autoridad tradicional y el énfasis en la doctrina. Los avales apoyan firmemente la tesis de Trueman, destacando el rigor académico del libro y su relevancia para los retos actuales a los que se enfrenta la Iglesia. Además, los extractos incluyen discusiones sobre el desarrollo histórico de los credos y confesiones dentro del cristianismo y su importancia en la configuración del culto y la práctica.

Todd is pretty excited to have today's guest on “his podcast,” who is none other than his Mortification of Spin co-host, Carl Trueman. Together, they discuss Carl's latest book, To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse, where Carl examines the historical roots of critical theory, its evolution, and its impact on contemporary culture.  I wanted to produce a book that was not a kind of “goodies” and “baddies” book…Everybody coming to critical theory has their opinion on whether the critical theorists are good guys or bad guys. I didn't really want to address that. What I wanted to do was look at critical theory through the historical lens and say, okay, why did this group of men start thinking this way? What was going on? What sources are they using? What problems are they trying to address or questions are they asking in order to get below the surface? – Carl Trueman Todd and Carl discuss some key figures of critical theory, such as Marx, Hegel, and Freud, and how they and other early critical theorists shaped modern thought. What are the implications for Christians today? Tune in to find out! Thanks to the generosity of B&H Academics, we are pleased to offer a copy of Carl's book to our listeners.

In this episode of Truth Tribe, I review Carl Trueman's newest book, "To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse." His magisterial 2020 volume, "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," established him as an insightful, rigorous, and incisive analyst who writes lucidly about complex ideas and places them into a Christian context. He then followed up this book with a smaller summary volume, which added new material, which was called "Strange New World," which was published in 2022. His newest effort addresses in more depth elements taken up in that previous work, or actually those two previous works, the nature of Critical Theory and its influence in contemporary culture. Although critical race theory has its roots in critical theory, Truman does not say much about critical race theory. We are again in his debt for an in depth analysis, rich in original source research and pertinent for understanding contemporary cultural and political currents. Hegel was right in at least one thing: to understand an age, you must understand its philosophy, and as Christians, we must expose it and counter it with biblical truth. Truman, patiently and non polemically, explains critical theory. To do so, he explores the philosophies of major figures such as Hegel, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud, and culturally significant thinkers from the German Frankfurt school such as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. He also consults Neo-Marxist thinkers such as John Lucas and Karl Koch and the Neo-Freudian Wilhelm Reich as a historian. Truman's aim is more elucidation than reputation, and he exposes difficult ideas in readable prose—no mean feat. However, he is wisely critical of critical theory to summarize and review a book that explores several dense thinkers, and their significance is challenging. I'd rather teach it than review it. However, several salient ideas emerge, which I will discuss here. Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., is Distinguished University Research Professor of Apologetics and Christian Worldview at Cornerstone University and the author of twenty books, including Beyond the Wager: The Christian Brilliance of Blaise Pascal (InterVarsity, 2024).

In a time when timeless truths are often questioned or redefined, Christian educators must remain rooted in Scripture, engaging with contemporary issues while maintaining humility and wisdom. Dr. Carl Trueman's reflections on truth, humility, and thinking biblically in today's world offer essential guidance for those seeking to teach with faithfulness and discernment. This conversation dives into the importance of staying grounded in biblical doctrine, even as we face the ever-changing landscape of our postmodern world.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Expositors Collective Podcast, we feature a compelling message from Bryan Stupar on the vital role of mentorship in ministry and life. Drawing from his deep well of pastoral experience and biblical understanding, Bryan illustrates the importance of older generations investing in the younger. He weaves together biblical examples—including the ultimate model of Jesus—and classical wisdom from Homer's Odyssey to provide a rich, multidimensional perspective on mentorship. Whether you're seeking to grow as a mentor or looking to be mentored, this episode will inspire and challenge you to cultivate meaningful, transformative relationships. Bryan opens by defining mentorship as a relational investment designed to foster intentional growth, aligning closely with the principles of biblical discipleship. He delves into Homer's Odyssey, highlighting the character Mentor as a timeless example of guidance and wisdom that parallels biblical models. Addressing modern challenges, Bryan underscores how the cultural zeitgeist subtly influences individuals, often mentoring them in ways they might not even realise. He contrasts this with the concept of expressive individualism, which Carl Trueman defines as a cultural emphasis on self-expression and authenticity as the ultimate goals, often at the expense of communal responsibility and growth. Bryan uses Alicia Keyes as a case study to illustrate the pervasive impact of this mindset. Turning to Scripture, Bryan unpacks Jesus' intentional and humble approach to mentorship, showcasing His unwavering commitment to the growth and development of His disciples. He concludes with a call for listeners to follow Jesus' example by embracing the dual roles of being mentored and mentoring others, thereby fostering spiritual and personal growth within the Church. About Bryan Stupar: Bryan Stupar, born in 1970 and raised in the surf culture of Huntington Beach, California, became a Christian at the age of 15. In 1993, he and his wife, Sherry, moved to San Luis Obispo to plant Calvary SLO Church, now a vibrant and influential ministry on California's Central Coast. Bryan is a devoted husband, father to two daughters (Brianna and Brooke), and lover of photography, coffee culture, and surfing. His life's passion is investing in others for the glory of God and the good of the world.

“No Creed but the Bible” - a statement that has often been promoted, but rarely thought through. While every Christian should believe the Bible is sufficient and inerrant; we must define exactly what it is we believe ‘about' the Bible. In light of this, on today's episode, we make the case for robust ‘Confessionalism', as a component in the Christian Life. We hope you are encouraged by today's episode to contend for sound doctrine.

It's Tuesday, November 12th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Brazilian homeschoolers growing despite opposition The Brazilian homeschooling movement is growing despite opposition from the leftist government of that country. Over the weekend, 3,000 homeschoolers gathered outside of Sao Paulo for a major conference and rallying point.  Generations Radio and The Worldview supported the conference with speaking and resources. Reports of government prosecution of homeschooling families are on the rise, with at least twenty cases presently on record.  Pray for Christian families under this spiritual and political push back. Psalm 78:5-6 encourages parents that God has “established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children.” German government collapsed last week Only hours after Trump's announced election last week, the national government of Germany collapsed. The multi-party based government was tenuous to begin with, but when Chancellor Olaf Scholz fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, the government lost its majority in parliament. The government has also lost support from the populace. According to a recent survey, only 3% of the people called the present government “good for Germany.” Germany's economy shrinks as families have fewer babies Germany is the fourth largest economy in the world after the United States, the European Union, and China. Interestingly, Germany was the only economy of the Group of 7 nations to shrink last year.  Thus far this year, the country is barely holding onto a 0.1% annual Gross Domestic Product increase based on data from the first three quarters.   In addition, industrial production has been steadily decreasing since 2018. Germany's working age population will decrease more than every other G7 nation over the next five years due to low birth rates.  Catholic Latino support for Trump doubled between ‘20 and ‘24 The Republicans gained more ground cultivating support from the Latino Catholic vote than any other major demographic in the 2024 presidential election. Trump support among Catholic Latinos increased from 28% in 2020 to 53% in 2024 — almost double! Support from the Catholic demographic in general for the Donald Trump presidential bid actually increased from 47% to 58% between 2020 and 2024.  Republicans win U.S. House According to Decision Desk HQ, the Republicans won control of the U.S. House with 219 seats over the Democrats with 210 seats.  218 seats are necessary for a majority. Eric Metaxas: Pastors don't understand the times Pastor John Piper sparked a little controversy among Christian websites when he commented on the presidential election, noting that “[God] having delivered us from one evil, [He] now tests us with another.” The pastor referenced Deuteronomy 13:3, not to listen “to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Citing 1 Chronicles 12:32, Christian commentator Eric Metaxas responded by saying, “Shame on these pastors for not being Sons of Issachar, but rather modern day Pharisees and Sadducees, not knowing Truth from a lie. Lord, deliver us from them.” Evangelical theologians discuss presidential election, pro-life movement Other leading evangelical theologians have commented on the election as well.  Carl Trueman wrote that he “would be horrified if my children behaved as either of our two serious presidential candidates routinely do.  The choice is a grim, but unavoidable one. ... Vote against the candidate who will do the most damage by policy.” And Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, opined that “the pro-life movement in the United States is in big, big trouble” based on recent losses at the ballot box. But he also said, “I'm thankful for the clarity that the American people achieved for the Republic. I think the choice, in this case, (for President) was also healthy for the Republic.” Trump appointed Rep. Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to United Nations President-elect Trump has appointed GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York as the next Ambassador to the United Nations, reports ABC News. Stefanik has a 48% conservative voting record on Liberty Score. That compares to Rand Paul's 93% on the same rating.   Stefanik voted to codify same-sex mirage into federal law back in 2022, and was in favor of the female draft in 2021.  Federal Reserve cut reserve rate again The U.S. Federal Reserve Board voted to cut the reserve rate by another 25 basis points late last week. That follows a 50 basis point cut in September.   The rate was just about 0% in January of 2022, at which point the Fed began increasing the rate all the way up to 5.33%.

Gold dropped slightly from the $2,740 per ounce to the $2,670-per-ounce range. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq stock indexes bumped up about 5% since the election.

The Gospel is good news, not good advice. It doesn't just call us to be better; it invites us into a whole new life in Christ. In an age that says we must define ourselves, gospel doctrine tells us that we're already defined in the most profound way: loved, redeemed, and called by Jesus. This is the truth that binds His Church together.   In this Episode, Whit and Casey explore the history of our individualistic culture and the foundational beliefs that define the Church.   Show notes: Check out the message: Gospel Doctrine in an Age of Moral Relativism  | https://youtu.be/R4xwMaBTxNE?si=4Bpb405nL-E4I456 In this episode Whit mentions the book Strange New World by Carl Trueman

Segment 1  • Carl Trueman criticizes churches for being too influenced by societal trends instead of leading culture. • Churches are losing their way by embracing immaturity and distractions, missing their higher calling. Segment 2  • Carl Trueman's hard-hitting message: don't get consumed by politics at the cost of the gospel. • Christians are called to a greater mission—if you're not ready to follow Christ, you're not ready for the real challenge. Segment 3  • Elton John writes a Broadway musical about Tammy Faye Baker, raising questions on faith in mainstream media. • Despite the distractions, God calls us to die to self because His plans are always just. Segment 4  • Addressing the overwhelming amount of political texts—are they keeping us from focusing on faith? • A powerful reminder that self-forgiveness isn't biblical; Jesus is bigger than your sins, even those like abortion. ___ Thanks for listening!

What anti-life lies do pro-life Christians believe? According to Riley Schneider, many Christians have subtle assumptions about children, parenting, and flourishing that contradict their pro-life convictions. And these lies are hindering the pro-life movement. As a young woman who faced death head-on, Riley is passionate about promoting life by advocating for unborn babies and parents in crisis. Tune in to hear her story and learn what Christians must do if we're truly going to protect vulnerable lives in our anti-life culture.

To join our community of women who make this free program possible, visit colsoncenter.org/swmonthly. We are excited to officially invite you to the 2025 Colson Center National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, May 30 to June 1, 2025. Our theme this year is “Be the Church.” We talk a lot about the Church on Strong Women, because the Church is God's plan A for restoring all things. In our day and age, it's easy to think of the Christian faith only in individual terms. But God is not just saving individuals—He's making a People, the Church. And before the Church can do what we're called to do, we must first understand who we are as the body of Christ. We'll explore that question this year, and hear from fantastic speakers like Rosaria Butterfield, Scott Klusendorf, Carl Trueman, and many others. So, come join us at CCNC 2025 and learn with the Church what it means to be the Church.

What makes a man a man and a woman a woman? It used to be obvious, but today's culture has changed. These conversations are harder now, which is why we need greater understanding and biblical clarity.

"You do you." "Be true to yourself." "Live your truth." These are common expressions in today's culture, but how do they stand up in light of Scripture?

Today we are posting an interview with Dr. Carl Trueman. Dr. Trueman is a professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College. He's also a contributing editor at First Things, an esteemed church historian, and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Trueman has authored or edited more than a dozen books; we'll be talking today primarily about the ideas from his books The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self and Strange New World, which explore the cultural shifts that paved the way for that idea that someone could be “a man trapped in a woman's body,” or vice versa.
