We Who Wrestle with God

“At a time when so many of the mainstream Christian churches are either drifting along with the culture or turning inward to bicker about who has power, it is perhaps not surprising that the most compelling interpretation of the Scriptures is coming from a layman, a psychologist, someone outside the ecclesiastical structures. Jordan Peterson makes no claim to give an adequate theological account of the Bible, but he is indeed shedding light on what the Church Fathers called the ‘moral sense’ of the sacred text. It is practically impossible to imagine anyone who would not find illumination and inspiration in the pages of this book.”
—BISHOP ROBERT BARRON, founder of Word on Fire

“This book revitalizes ancient wisdom and builds a bridge between human biology and theology—a bridge we must cross to rescue ourselves and our civilization from the biblical errors now visible on every horizon.”
—BRET WEINSTEIN, cohost of DarkHorse Podcast and coauthor of A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century

“Jordan Peterson has wrestled into existence another iconic masterpiece, highlighting that our ancient stories filter what we see and create our perception of reality. Read on to understand the provocative arguments of our age at an entirely new level.”
—MEHMET OZ, MD, professor emeritus, Columbia University
 
“Peterson breathes psychological fire into ancient mythological motifs, and he proposes a new understanding of spirit that bridges religion and science. This book will help many people recover the roots of their spirituality while orienting them to a new expression of that spirituality.”
—JOHN VERVAEKE, professor of psychology and cognitive science, University of Toronto, author of Awakening from the Meaning Crisis, and creator of the video series After Socrates
 
“This book will mint new Christians and stir old ones. With this book, Peterson will make the same impact on our theology that he has made on our culture.”
—RUSSELL BRAND, comedian and host of the Stay Free with Russell Brand podcast
 
“Peterson asks the questions of our time. Who are we? How did we get here? How do we meet the challenges of the future, both as individuals and as a civilization? A must read from the West’s most important public intellectual.”
—KONSTANTIN KISIN, cohost of the TRIGGERnometry podcast
