The Theology of Jordan Peterson and Mythological Meaning

What is the theology of Jordan B. Peterson? And why are millions of people, especially young men, flocking to hear Dr. Peterson give three-hour lectures on philosophy and life? Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller discuss the meteoric rise of the popular author, psychologist, online educator, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, and try to discern what kind of theology he espouses in his teachings on the Bible and mythology.
