CARL TRUEMAN | Reclaiming the Historic Faith (Ep. 598)

In this episode, we welcome Carl Trueman back to the show. He is a Christian ecclesiastical historian, professor, and author. He is a professor of religious studies at Grove City College, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and a contributing editor at First Things. Additionally, he’s the bestselling author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Strange New World, and his newest book Crisis of Confidence: Reclaiming the Historic Faith in a Culture Consumed with Individualism and Identity. In this interview, we discuss his shock over the impact The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self has had even to this day, why he wrote his latest book, why creeds and confessions seem implausible in our modern climate, how chronological snobbery plays into our view on creeds and confessions, how preaching styles impact how people understand doctrine, why it should concern us that many modern preachers operate without a legitimate board of elders, the next two books he plans to release, and much more.
