We Who Wrestle with God

Perceptions of the Divine

De: Jordan B. Peterson

Narrado por: Jordan B. Peterson

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

How Do You Define Success?

We continuously decide between seizing the pleasure of the moment or making a sacrifice for the future -- but Peterson reminds us that virtue is its own reward. Placing food in a baby's mouth is more fulfilling than a profit in the stock market. But why? What is the whispering voice that recognizes evil, reveals new insights, and enables you to feel love, awe and gratitude? Whether you are an atheist or agnostic, if you are willing to acknowledge these mysteries you have taken the first step away from moral anarchy, such as the shysters who tell us to outwit the other guy, take drugs, or find new hook-ups. Peterson wants us to set a lofty purpose. For inspiration he uses the Bible stories to help us find our errors, acknowledge our "God-given" talents and to use them to energize ourselves and the world.

A marvelous synthesis of thought and story

Dr. Peterson’s exploration of the psyche through the biblical corpus is a feat of accomplishment worth celebrating. The available insight contained in this book is priceless. Deus renatus est.

Riviting commentsry

Awesome

I loved this book Jordan Peterson did a fantastic job of breaking down the stories of the Bible in a psychological view that really made sense.

Transformational and A Call to Put Your Hand in God’s to Rise Up!!!

Dr Peterson’s books have been guiding lights in my life, and for that I will always, always be forever grateful!!! This was such an incredible book, I will read the copy I bought and study it again and again. This was Divinely inspired—IT’S IN TUNE! Thank you!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Right on time!

This book needs to be essential reading/listening for people who have come to understand that the worship of identity markers and anarchy is no substitute for a life of meaning, and structure that serves the greater good. As a lapsed-Catholic who got sucked into leftist circles before seeing the light and choosing to seek meaning through spiritual exploration rather than politics, I have to say, Dr. Peterson’s apt interpretations of biblical scripture have helped me see the religion I was born into through a different set of eyes.

Amazing book!

If you’re looking to read/listen to this book. PLEASE DO, you will not regret it.

Jordan Peterson sleeps with a thesaurus

I typically enjoy his books but this one felt like he was trying to sound as intellectual as possible. He could summarize a 30 second commercial in three hours.
