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

In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing 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 – 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 Jordan Peterson through the greatest stories ever told.

Dare to wrestle with God.

Kritikerstimmen

Whether in your eyes the author ranks as prophet or provocateur, you should read this outstanding study … there is rich substance underlying it (Rupert Shortt)
[A] brilliant new book (Tim Stanley)
Engrossing … rewarding … Jordan Peterson wrestles with God and the result is one for the ages … the reader is encouraged to buckle down and choose his or her own adventure (Nina Power)
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, Professor Emeritus at 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, author of Awakening from the Meaning Crisis )
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)

After hearing many podcasts of Jordan Peterson, his familiar voice, from his own book, make you understand his meanings, making it a well completed experience.

Even if you don't know the bible, it's a must read

Loved the whole fresh look of the biblical stories (much like his lectures). I did have a hard time listening to Dr. Perterson‘s reading style (if that is the right term for it) and forceful pronouncing words, in the beginning (it felt overacted).

He soften his approach about half way into the text, this made listening and understanding more fluend and made it all worth it to have endured thus far.

It also sounded that Dr. Peterson had to contend with and brave through several colds throughout his reading, which I also have not heard in an audiobook before.

Overall, other than the performance, this was to me (like almost all of Dr. Peterson’s edicational offerings) a very helpful, insightful and illuminating book. Thank you Dr. Peterson and Pinguin publishing.

A fresh look and wakeup call

Fascinating. Goes deep…can be overwhelming at times . Very much worth the read. As always, with great command of writing by Mr. Peterson.

Aim upwards

I am a great fan of Dr Peterson's I have read all his books and studied Maps of Meaning. I do unfortunately have to say that this book falls of the quality of his other works.
To me Peterson is at his strongest when he is bringing together his broad knowledge on Psychology, Biology and the History of Beliefs and Faiths. This is why the inclusion of biblical stories and passages in earlier work happens flawlessly.
His former works were the culmination of decades of learning and research into concise points. It appears to me that with this book he has departed from that formula and gone more to an approach of going through and interpreting biblical texts one after the other.
So instead of a big thought being exemplified with a biblical story as in the past, here he tries to come up with big thoughts from the texts he chooses.
I feel constantly reminded of his comment on a few podcasts, that he had an AI trained on his writing to help him interpret texts when he couldn't think of anything... this is what I would say describes large parts of the books best.

Additionally since he has been touring his discoveries made in this book on all the large podcasts already long before the release of the book, the accustomed listener won't find many new things anyway.

I would go as far as to say that if you are a regular listener of his podcast appearances, you don't have to read the book.


I personally hope that he returns to a less theological and theoretical approach in favor of a more practical approach in his next book. Maybe actually together with Dr Huberman as they discussed in their shared recent Podcast.

Not Peterson's best work

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
If you fancy listening to a white old American guy who is as conservative as it gets giving his very personal interpretation of Genesis and of a few further books of the OT, thereby all the while ranting against communism and, generally, leftist, "woke" and green ideologies - here you go ... The author contents himself with interpreting the OT in a way that perfectly matches his personal convictions, never grasping that it's these very convictions that produce his subjective interpretation.

It also doesn't do the audiobook any good that the author read it himself because he transports all his anger into his performance, making sure that passages which only might have been understood as rants are definitely properly understood as such. Not sure what got this guy so angry, but very sure that he didn't got the OT and, of course, God and reality right.

Positive: At least this book is not uninteresting and the audio production can be quite entertaining if you don't take the guy too serious.
