Dr. Carl Trueman on Gender, Identity, and Politics

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.
