We who wrestle with God : perceptions of the devine

Peterson, Jordan B.2024
Books, Manuscripts
Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analysing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilise, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham's terrible adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies - to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.
