Our world is characterized by a collapse in what it means to be human— human nature over the last century has been dismantled, disenchanted, disembodied, and desecrated. Our politics reflects this. We need both a political ethos and policies that reflect a truer anthropology, one that understands our exceptionalism, our embodiment, but this ultimately requires a religious dimension. How do we rediscover personally and as a society what it means to be human?
Please join us at the Heritage Foundation as we welcome First Things contributing editor Carl Trueman to present this year's D.C. lecture.
