Carl R. Trueman. Strange New World

How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity

Abstract

Strange New World is a book that every leader should have a chance to read, especially European Christian leaders who are waiting for all the trends from the West to come to Europe in larger form. This book can help you understand and navigate how to find the way to be salt in this strange new world. Christians are confused, they do not know how to prepare for the coming trends and how to protect their families from the influence of the things mentioned above. My recommendation is, to get this book, read it, and share it with others, whoever you are, pastor or worker. This work is scholarly, but people should not be afraid. It is not written on a level that a layperson might always have a hard time reading. The book does point you to certain bibliographical references and these are worth checking. Readers might only sometimes stop and check on the internet some stuff that Trueman mentions. At the end of the book, there is an index and a short glossary. If someone needs to find more information about the topic of the book, that person might read a larger book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. If you want to share this message with your church and friends, then this book would be a guiding book for understanding today’s culture.
