Jordan Peterson could easily be called "The Most Interesting Man In The World." He is the sceptic's Sunday School Teacher, reinvigorating the need for religion in the minds of millions who thought even the idea of God is passé. He has been the pastor to many encouraging them to "clean their room" because, like Moses' serpent, that simple act will change their lives. Billy Graham would smile at his impact. Yet Peterson has not publicly declared himself a Christian or even a believer in God. He is quite an enigma.
Today we talk to Matthew R. Petrusek, co-author with Christopher Kaczor of Jordan Peterson, God, and Christianity. We explore Peterson's philosophy, why he is effective, and some of the gaps that Christianity can provide.
