We Who Wrestle with God -- Jordan Peterson
Details
Thank you to everyone for participating in an awesome discussion today! We have heard from nihilists, determinists, and atheists. But, we haven't heard much from theists. It's time to give a theist (potentially up for debate if he is one) his due with Jordan Peterson's new book We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine. This is a long one. So, just a reminder...You are all welcome to attend and participate in the meeting even if 500 pages is too much. Read a few chapters, read all of it, or read none of it. Just show up with an open mind, and enjoy the conversation. Looking forward to seeing you there.
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.
