Think about the title of the book. How does the idea of “perceptions” relate to the ideas that Peterson conveys about the divine or God? How does a book on religious “perceptions” differ from an explanation of religious doctrine conducted by a theologian?

Why, according to Peterson, are we “fated to wrestle with God” (xxxi), and how does this struggle relate to the experiences of the main biblical characters profiled in the book?

What significance does sacrifice have in Peterson’s scheme of how we respond to God?
