Why the Modern World Is at War with Human Nature

About this episode

Carl Trueman and Michael Horton have both written books tracing the intellectual genealogy of our modern confusion. 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.
