If Battle for the American Mind armed you with the timeline of institutional takeover, Carl Trueman hands you the philosophical blueprint behind it. This isn't education policy—it's identity itself, dissected with surgical precision to reveal how expressive individualism became our culture's operating system. Trueman traces the ideological lineage from Rousseau to modern gender theory with the rigor of a battlefield historian mapping enemy positions, showing you exactly when the West traded virtue for validation.
Where Hegseth fights for the classroom, Trueman fights for the soul. This is the deeper ammunition—unapologetically Christian, intellectually bulletproof, and written for parents who refuse to surrender their children to secular drift.
This is the deeper ammunition your church group needs to understand the war behind the war.
