But what if the problem is both much simpler and much more serious? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Desecration of Man\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith gentle pastoral wisdom, deep insight into church history, and an impressive command of philosophical genealogies, \u003ci\u003eThe Desecration of Man \u003c\/i\u003espeaks 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Trueman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sentinel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.35w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593713853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Trueman \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor of biblical and theological studies at Grove City College, a visiting fellow at the Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government at the University of Notre Dame, and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
