We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine
In We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, 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; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.
Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience and Jonah confronting hell itself in the belly of the whale because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim, and purpose as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Dr. Peterson through the greatest stories ever told.
Dare to wrestle with God.

Praise for 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
