Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vaat, the senior publishing director at Word on Fire.

0:12.6

Bishop Aaron is wrapping up his hiatus this month. He got a little time off well deserved from the podcast,

0:18.9

but he's going to be back with us in studio next week for a great conversation about forgiveness.

0:24.5

But today we're going to share with you the latest episode in our Bishop Aaron presents series of discussions.

0:31.0

This one is a conversation between Bishop Aaron and Jennifer Rotner Rosenhagen.

0:36.6

Jennifer is an expert in the history of ideas that have shaped American culture.

0:42.4

She's written two well regarded, much discussed books. The first is American Nietzsche,

0:48.2

and the second is titled The Ideas that Made America a Brief History.

0:53.3

The discussion they share is intellectually invigorating, and it goes to the roots of many of today's most contentious, religious, political, and cultural debates.

1:03.3

Before we get there though, I want to tell you about a new book from Word on Fire, Always Good News.

1:09.3

The newest book we just published this week is titled Jordan Peterson, God and Christianity, The Search for a Meaningful Life.

1:18.3

It's co-authored by Christopher K. Zor and Matthew Petrusik, both fellows of our Word on Fire Institute.

1:25.3

And it's the first book length Christian study that explores all of Peterson's ideas.

1:31.3

There's a long section engaging his popular YouTube videos, the biblical series he's put out on YouTube,

1:37.3

but also his two best-selling books, the first one titled 12 Rules for Life,

1:42.3

and the second one which came out pretty recently titled Beyond Order.

1:48.3

So this book engages all of those videos, articles, and books from Jordan Peterson from a specifically Christian perspective.

1:56.3

So if you're intrigued by Jordan Peterson, if you want to know why he's captivated so many young men, especially when he's talking about the Bible, God, meaning, and all that stuff, then this is the book you want to pick up.

2:09.3

Again, it's titled Jordan Peterson, God and Christianity, The Search for a Meaningful Life.

2:15.3

It's got a forward by Bishop Baron. You can pick up your copy at wordonfire.org slash Peterson book, wordonfire.org slash Peterson book.

2:26.3

Well, with that, I'll turn it over to the senior director of the Word on Fire Institute, Jared Zimmerer, who hosts this great discussion between Bishop Robert Baron and Jennifer Barron.

2:37.3

And Bishop Robert Baron and Jennifer Rotner Rosenhagen. Enjoy.
