SUMMARY:Carl Trueman & Mary Eberstadt Discuss "The Desecration of Man"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as the CIC’s Panula Chair in Christian Culture Mary Eberstadt welcomes and interviews Carl R. Trueman for the launch of his new book\, The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity. Mr. Trueman will begin the evening by outlining his book’s concepts followed by an interview with Mrs. Eberstadt. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and virtually through a YouTube livestream. The Desecration of Man will be available for purchase at the CIC’s bookstore. \n4/7 Schedule:  \n\n6:15 PM: CIC doors open for registrant check-in\n6:30 PM: Presentation\, which will be livestreamed (we will also take some time for audience Q&A)\n7:30 PM: Booksigning with our speakers and a light happy hour\n8:30 PM: Evening concludes\n\nAbout the Book:\nAs 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? \nIn The Desecration of Man\, 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. \nWith gentle pastoral wisdom\, deep insight into church history\, and an impressive command of philosophical genealogies\, 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.
