Synopsis
As church attendance falls, suicide rates climb, and birth rates plummet, Christian pundits have suggested disenchantment and the loss of tradition are to blame for our spiritual malaise. But what if the problem is both much simpler and much more serious? In Desecration of Man, theologian and ecclesial historian Carl Trueman argues that modern man's crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact - that he was made in the image of God. Unmoored from the basic moral fact that secures human dignity, we violently disrespect our own minds and bodies through abortion, pornography, casual sex, gender transitions, and more--and in this disrespect we blaspheme against God himself, with devastating practical and spiritual consequences. With gentle pastoral wisdom, deep insight into church history, and an impressive command of philosophical geneologies, The Desecration of Man speaks to those troubled by the spiritual sickness of our time and points toward consecration to a God who is alive and loving as a solution. The Early Church triumphed over Rome because it offered life in place of death. It is time for modern Christians to offer the same kind of vision.
