The Desecration of Man

How the rejection of God degrades our humanity

Carl Trueman argues that modern man’s crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple truth – that we were 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.

With gentle pastoral wisdom, deep insight into church history, and an impressive command of philosophical genealogies, this book 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.
