This was a great read, coming from a Christian who feels as if he’s gained a lot from JBPs books and videos. I was wondering—since you’ve written this, do you think his philosophy has changed in any significant way?
You said, "So, for Peterson, Christ is not the second person of the Trinity, the Eternal Son of God who stepped into his own creation in the person of Jesus Christ, literally died on [the cross] for the sins of the world and who was raised on the third day by the power of the Holy Spirit."
I believe he says, in the interview with Alex O'Connor (around 4 min 20 sec in) that Christ came out of the tomb physically:
I like your detailed take on this. I've always noticed that he avoids the word "saved" with regard to himself, and I've always figured that he believes that he will lose a lot of his audience if he says anything even close to "I'm saved by the Blood of Christ." But somehow, he does have a great reverence for the Bible and for Jesus. You have a typo as follows: Peterson dies this.
Great conclusion and counter argument to what it seems to be Peterson's main thesis; it being self-referential was brilliantly put and i've never thought about it in that way.

Thanks, Paul. I think you're totally right. And any idea where I can find that typo? It's a long piece 😅😅
Insanely detailed and enjoyable analysis of a very frustrating and compelling figure.
Thanks man!
Great analysis of his work. I enjoyed reading it!
Thanks!
