Description
The bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life takes us on a deeply enlightening journey through the foundational narratives of our culture.
What is the true story of our lives β and what should it be?
In his newest revolutionary offering, world-renowned clinical psychologist and bestselling author Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that have formed the foundations of the Western world. Drawing on the psychology of religion, mythology, and philosophy, he reveals the profound wisdom of the Biblical stories β explaining why we ignore them, today, at our great peril.
Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the 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 β what could such stories possibly mean? How have they helped us make sense of the world, and who we are, for millennia? How can they still guide us in our eternal search for meaning, aim, and purpose?
Powerfully illuminating and thought-provoking, We Who Wrestle With God brings the reader on an awe-inspiring intellectual journey through the greatest stories ever told.
