Editorial Reviews
When you are finished with this book, you will not only be more informed about one of the world's leading philosophers but, more importantly, you will be drawn to the ultimate source of wisdom and life: Jesus Christ.
?Daniel Darling, vice president for communications, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, Southern Baptist Convention
Jordan Peterson is one of the outstanding thinkers of our generation. He sees clearly that without a return to the Bible, there is no future for the Western nations. But can traditionalist Christians make peace with Peterson's theology? Ron Dart's collection of essays by Christian scholars masterfully grapples with the promise and the challenge of Peterson's thought.
?Yoram Hazony, president of the Herzl Institute, author of The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture and The Virtue of Nationalism
For those interested in a more balanced and reflective interpretation of Jordan Peterson, this is the anthology for you. It avoids the easy extremes of either deifying or demonizing Peterson while also performing the needed task of trying to get clear about his relation to Christianity. This is an important text for those who want to understand Peterson as opposed to merely following him.
?John Vervaeke, lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology
What is behind the phenomenon of Jordan Peterson? The essays in this book not only offer sound analysis from a variety of cultural and spiritual angles but also point to areas where Christians could (and should) be making strong gospel connections.
?John Stonestreet, president, Colson Center for Christian Worldview
