How on earth did our society get into this state of moral decline? Here are the answers.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 September 2022

Verified Purchase

Such a helpful book. Explains in a clear, easy to read and understandable way how our Western society has sunk into the state of moral decline that it has. Also clearly explains why the Church has been unable to counter the tide. Well laid out with each chapter having an introduction and a conclusion as well as a few helpful questions at the end. Accompanying Study Guide available if you want to go deeper.

A Brilliantly Insightful Cultural Exegesis

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 12 April 2022

Verified Purchase

Trueman does a wonderful job at breaking down the understructure of the time and culture we currently find ourselves within. Diving into aspects of "expressive individualism" and the "sexual revolution" and showing the progression of the self, moving from submission to divine external morality, to the culturally celebrated performance of inward sexualized expression as the ultimate moral standard.

I found this book to be a wonderful cultural exegesis while remaining approachable for those previously unfamiliar with the names and philosophies discussed throughout. The book is concise and to the point, and neither throws any punches nor withholds the truth of biblical stance and reasoning in response to what's happening in the world around us.

Each chapter brings you on a natural progression from the chapters before and takes you into the developing thought processes and cultural imagination of the west over the past 500 years. Finishing with the final chapter which, I greatly respect, is a short overview of how the church should consider responding to the culture that already has reservations if not disdain toward our voice in the matters. Trueman is not quick to assert a know-it-all stance on how to respond, but instead gives healthy guidelines and ancient voices to submit to as the body of Christ discerns its best response.

I have already recommended this book to many pastoral colleagues and individuals in leadership. I truly believe this is one of the most significant books of our day for gaining a clear grasp on the undercurrents of our culture and the culture that is affecting, and ultimately influencing, those we lead. Knowing how we got to where we currently are can truly help in knowing how we might get to where we need to be.

Excellent and Accessible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 27 May 2022

Verified Purchase

Excellent (and more accessible) follow-up to his previous book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. I found both books very helpful in diagnosing how our culture has come to this peculiar moment. I think every Christian "leader" should not only read this book, it should be highest on their reading list after their Bible.
My recommendation in reading Strange New World is this:

1. Read the Foreword and Preface
2. Next, read the 1-2 page "Conclusion" at the end of each chapter (Chapters 1-8)
3. Next, read Chapter 9, the book's overall conclusion.
4. Finally, go back and read the book cover-to-cover, highlighting important ideas/quotations/etc.

My intention is to glean heavily from this book to create a seminar/talk for collegians.

Thank you, Dr. Carl Trueman, for the many hours you put into these books -- an excellent service to a culture that's lost its sense of external, objective truth.

A clear introduction to the ideas and forces that have led us to where we are today

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 9 August 2022

Verified Purchase

A concise encapsulation of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. A clear introduction to the ideas and forces that have led us to where we are today in a sexualized and politicized culture obsessed with identity and authenticity. Even if you don't agree with the author politically, theologically or even intellectually I think it is a powerful argument that should be wrestled with and engaged.

This has been developed as a resource for churches and Christian groups, there is a video and study guide, and that flavor comes out most strongly in the last chapter. But I think you can learn a lot by viewing the argument descriptively rather than as a moral critique.

I think this is one of a handful of books that really sheds light on the worldview of our culture and how it operates, how we got here, and where we are headed.
