This past summer I read Carl Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. I read it slowly, as I was planning to review it for the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society. I had actually already listened to the audio version. Trueman is a super fellow, and a thoughtful man. It is a very good book. JETS has kindly allowed me to include the published review here (attached).

The book is a wonderful analysis of our current malaise. I do offer a somewhat subtle critique of Trueman toward the end of the review. I wonder--in the review--if Trueman is giving full weight to the notion that every culture or society serves and worships its god or gods. Trueman seems to leave space for a kind of neutral or "non-sacred" culture. I really simply raise the issue in the review as to whether this is really possible or not. 

Happy to correspond if folks want to pursue this.

John Webster has written a very good article on the nature of the intellectual life.  I might quibble here and there, but it is a good read.  It is attached.
