About this listen

In Chapter Six of We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine Jordan Peterson takes up the story of Abraham and Jacob to draw from them characteristics of the divine as well as deep universal lessons for life. Peterson sees in Abraham the divine call to live a life of adventure, a life of risk, a life of courage, a life of sacrifice, a life of upward striving. The story of Jacob is understood by Peterson as one of transformative identity that comes from the unavoidable struggle with the divine that each of us must engage in. This chapter represents the heart of the book as it reveals in the clearest way what Peterson means when he insists that we are all of us fated to wrestle with God.
