Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Jordan is very intelligent
Jordan Peterson is one of the most profound truth-tellers of our time. His teachings are rooted in personal responsibility, self-discipline, and the courage to confront uncomfortable truths—values that are transformative for anyone willing to embrace them. Through his work, I’ve changed countless aspects of my life, from how I view discipline and accountability to how I approach relationships, purpose, and growth. He has inspired millions to take ownership of their lives and strive toward meaningful goals.
Those who hate him often do so not because he is wrong, but because his words hold up a mirror to their own flaws and fears. To reject his teachings is often a refusal to confront one’s own potential for growth and to remain content with destructive ideologies. His unwavering stand against the mutilation of children and his advocacy for truth and the defense of what is good have made him a target for those who thrive on chaos and confusion.
Jordan Peterson represents what is rare in today’s world—a voice of reason and moral clarity. To dislike him is not merely a difference of opinion; it often reveals an unwillingness to face the realities of truth, responsibility, and the protection of the most vulnerable. His work is a gift to anyone ready to step out of complacency and into a life of purpose and courage.

This book is excellent.
We who wrestle with God: Jordan Peterson
A colossal intellectual piece by one of the truly great Thinkers of our times. But perhaps at times too technical a psychological and literary analysis. I could not help but think of Jesus (Mathew 11:25 NKJV) :”I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.” Or of Jodie Foster, ( Movie : Contact) playing the role of a scientist, who on returning from her Space mission to see if there was other life in the Universe, saying :” they should have sent a poet”! But perhaps for the “intellectual” atheists this will bring them closer to searching for God.
