Synopsis

A revolutionary new offering from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life.

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.

Goodreads review by Ashley Edwards on November 20, 2024

(I pre ordered this book months ago, and it was worth the wait). I am only on page 24 and already this is the most profound, engaging, thought provoking book I ever read! In a world of misunderstanding I feel so seen and in alignment with the underlying TRUTH of this book. I can’t even put it into w......more

Goodreads review by Charles on December 02, 2024

My defense of Peterson’s new book. I finally finished my review of Peterson’s book. I’m considering posting it on Goodreads, but who knows if defending Peterson is a good thing: Peterson. A name hardly fails to bring up visceral emotions. So everyone dislikes Peterson. Even my friends who like him fo......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on November 27, 2024

Jordan Peterson’s supposedly universal meta-ethical story of Mankind, made in the image of God, continuously climbing Jacob’s ladder upwards towards the good, killing dragons, saving fathers from the belly of the beast, struggling with the archetypes of the Great Mother - immediately broke down once......more

Goodreads review by Jared on December 18, 2024

Note before the review . I am a fan of Jordan Peterson and watch / listen to almost all his podcasts. This book is basically an expansion of many things he says in them. And so if you’re like me you really are wasting your time reading this book. Jordan Peterson’s We Who Wrestle with God is an exhaus......more

Goodreads review by Isiah on November 22, 2024

Jordan’s biggest issue is his attempt to hold an atheistic, materialistic, utilitarian worldview and extrapolate from it a Christian worldview and ethic. This work is largely heretical, nonsensical ramblings with nothing to do with the texts at hand, and the occasional stumbling into truth. Which is......more

Quotes

“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
