A Conversation with A Believer

Several months back, I received a book: "Jordan B. Peterson's Christ Revealed". After a little bit of back and forth, it seemed right and timely to have a conversation with the author. We ended up having more than one conversation before one landed that seemed ready to share. This is that video. If you feel called to connect with him, let me know and I'll introduce y'all. Here is his description of the video. "This conversation focuses sharply on the central problem statement in Jordan Peterson’s Maps of Meaning. The “problem” in question is a centuries-old problem that arose with the emergence of the scientific world view and Peterson is far from the first to shine a light on it. In the Roman Catholic tradition, it has been depicted in the frescos by Raphael, “The Disputation Over the Blessed Sacrament” and “The School of Athens” when the former represents revealed Truth and the latter natural Truth. In Protestant theology, this idea finds its expression in the concept that God wrote two books, the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture. In Maps of Meaning, Peterson presents the same dichotomy this way: “The world can be validly construed as a forum for action, as well as a place of things. We describe the world as a place of things, using the formal methods of science. The techniques of narrative, however – myth, literature, and drama – portray the world as a forum for action. The two forms of representation have been unnecessarily set at odds, because we have not yet formed a clear picture of their respective domains. The domain of the former is the “objective world” – what is, from the perspective of intersubjective perception. The domain of the latter is “the world of value” – what is and what should be, from the perspective of emotion and action.” Peterson adds, “No complete world-picture can be generated, without use of both modes of construal.” Can these two seemingly contradictory pathways to Truth, these modes of construal be reconciled, or “stitched” together? Peterson himself falls short of providing a frame by which we can see how they converge. In this discussion, the author of Jordan B. Peterson’s Christ Revealed, provides us with just such a frame, demonstrating how they can be reconciled without compromising either perspective."
