The 4-minute excerpt in this post explains LGBTQ+ and Christian identity, from Carl Trueman’s book, The Rise and Triumph of The Modern Self. The following was excerpted from the book description: “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—yet no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of the self. In this timely book, Carl Trueman analyzes the development of the sexual revolution as a symptom—rather than the cause—of the human search for identity.” [This post contains a link to chapter 1 for those who wish to explore the book.]
