Strange new world - Carl R Trueman

The world’s values have changed rapidly in the past decade. Critics have attributed such changes to the decline in Christian belief, or an upsurge in Marxist thinking of oppressor vs oppressed. But Carl Trueman’s work shows that it’s a lot more complicated than that. He defines the root cause as the rise of “expressive individualism”; the idea that the happiness and autonomy of the psychological self is the purpose and fulfilment of human existence.
