This episode of Dr Phil Primetime definitely depends on how you feel about Dr. Jordan Peterson. Love him, loathe him, or land somewhere in between bewildered amusement and mild concern, the controversial intellectual is Dr. Phil’s guest on Thursday evening.
Peterson’s appearance will focus on his new book, We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine. Now, you might be thinking, “Dr. Phil and Biblical interpretation? That’s a new one.” And you’d be right. This isn’t your typical daytime drama. Instead, it offers a potentially fascinating (or frustrating, depending on your viewpoint) glimpse into Peterson’s take on how Biblical narratives have shaped culture and psychology.
Peterson, never one for understatement, claims his book has life-altering potential. Whether it can actually deliver on that ambitious promise remains to be seen, of course. But the primetime platform provided by Dr. Phil gives Peterson a sizable audience to disseminate his message. Let’s just hope Dr. Phil steers the conversation towards genuine exploration rather than simple soundbites and contrived conflict. This could be a surprisingly thought-provoking hour of television… or not. Either way, it’s probably worth a look.
Tune in to Dr. Phil’s primetime show featuring Dr. Jordan Peterson on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 8:00 PM on Merit TV.
