Jordan Peterson’s New Book: A Serious Challenge to Atheism? | We Who Wrestle with God

We Who Wrestle With God by Jordan Peterson review – a culture warrior out of his depth

Eve's yielding to the serpent's temptation, for instance, is viewed as the characteristically female error of sentimental, pseudo-compassionate acceptance of the unacceptable that you see in bad parents, especially mothers, who "cripple their children so that they can make a public show of their martyrdom and compassionate virtue". 

Well, there is certainly a discussion to be had about toxicity in parenting, but finding it in the second chapter of Genesis requires impressive single-mindedness (and it is worth noting that Jewish exegetical tradition, unlike Christian, has never been that interested in Eve). Peterson claims that analysis of the patriarchal subtext of the biblical stories is a ridiculous distraction, observing that Genesis depicts both men and women negatively. What he does not seem to acknowledge is that discussing patriarchy is about recognising patterns of social power embedded in the stories, rather than whether specific men are painted in favourable or unfavourable lights. This makes it impossible for him to grant that such discussions can help us avoid some of the spectacularly destructive exploitation of biblical material that has reinforced the demeaning of women throughout Christian history...

In his vital and indispensable "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost its Mind," journalist Robert Draper invites readers to follow him as he elbows his way into a similar crowd with a far greater degree of power but a similar commitment to outlandish thinking: those who occupy the right wing in Congress. Draper is drawn to individuals who speak — and tweet — opinions far outside of alignment with reality. But it's a testament to his prowess that he doesn't begin and end with gawking curiosity, instead treating his subjects with empathy, even in the many instances when he's disputing a matter of fact. And his rigorous reporting adds an unusual level of depth to his account of U.S. politics since Jan. 6, 2021...
