Jordan Peterson’s exhaustive analysis of the biblical accounts—the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, plus his own additional comparisons with literature, movies, and stories is like a James Mitchener edition—everything you wanted to know, and much, much more. As he writes about the creation, Adam and Eve, the fall of mankind, the fratricide of Cain and Abel, the flood of Noah, the collapse of the Town of Babel, Abraham, Moses, and Jonah, he continually asks the questions: What could these stores possibly signify? Who is the God who calls His people forward? How do we understand man, woman, and society in relationship to the divine?
“‘A still small voice’ is certainly one of the famous phrases in the Bible. God is not in the wind nor earthquake (I Kings 19:11-12), but something within; the voice of conscience itself. This is a discovery of unparalleled magnitude: the possibility of establishing a relationship with God by attending to conscience. God grants man and woman free will, even though He wants the allegiance of His created creatures. and also wishes to guide them. . . . Not by command, force, or fear but by the provision of a voice, an image, or even a feeling that can nudge and suggest or humiliate quietly and softly.”
“God is what has encountered us when new possibilities emerge and take shape. God is what we encounter when we are moved to the depths. . . . God is equally that which (or who) creates not only order but, as it is stressed repeatedly throughout the opening book of the Bible, the order that is good.”
