Renowned Canadian psychologist and bestselling author Jordan Peterson is delving deeper into the Bible. We Who Wrestle with God tackles themes of sin, morality, and purpose. But does this 505-page tome mark his arrival at faith - or is he still on the journey?
Jordan Peterson, the Canadian, former psychology professor and bestselling author, continues his journey toward faith with his latest book - We who wrestle with God (Penguin). May will know him for his bestselling titles, 12 Rules for Life and Beyond Order which have sold ten million and five million copies respectively. He has openly stated that he lives ‘as if there is a God’ and happily appeared on Premier Unbelievable?’ s Big Conversation in 2018 defending a theistic view under the title: “Do we need God to make sense of life?”
Now, with a book explicitly focused on God, many Christians may wonder: is it time for Peterson to declare he has crossed to our side?
