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.

Critic reviews

“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

“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 is a solid follow-up to Peterson's 12 Rules books, providing a solid synopsis of his thoughts on the deeper meanings and modern significance of the biblical stories. He provides his voice for the audio, which is great for those who know Peterson from listening to his lectures and podcasts.

Solid survey of Peterson's Biblical thought.

Aunque es parte de unos libros, clases y cursos que el autor había dictado anteriormente, este libro termina esos apuntes, los condensa en una obra, y lo hace excelente especialmente en la manera en que toca el análisis de la religión cristiana sin caer en desprecio o fanatismo exagerado. Excelente en inglés, espero que cuando se ha traducido al español no se pierda su riqueza intelectual.

Excelente obra!!!!

The majority of this book was over my head. Some of the talking points were easy enough to track, but a lot of the elaboration just blew by me. It’s a shame because I’m a huge JP fan. Just not smart enough to grasp all of this one.

I’ve hit my intellectual ceiling.

The intelligence of Jordon Petersons ability to pull from the OT to the NT and today's world how it all comes together.

an amazing corelation of the OT and NT and today's world.

Dr. Jordan Peterson knows how to make the stories of the bible relatable to modern times. We have the same issues throughout our entire human history for centuries. They’re trying to tell us something about life, ourselves and the past, and we should listen. Thank you to those trying to educate the masses while in the midst of an angry mob called modern day society. This book is so uplifting that there is hope for our future selves and the young minds of today. You are energy. There is a higher power.

Excellent! I’m sad it’s over.

Fascinating

The way Jordan relates the biblical text with modern times is astonishing and his perspective gives listeners a new look on a lot of age old stories amazes me so glad I preordered this book I’ll most likely need to get a physical copy as well keep up the great work sir will be relistening to this for at least a few more times so much to digest and consider God bless you sir!

Rekindle my my journey in finding God
