  • The Bible is a series of books written edited and assembled over thousands of years

  • It contains the most influential stories of mankind

  • Knowledge of these stories is essential to a deep understanding of western Culture, which is in turn vital to proper psychological health

  • (as human beings are cultural animals ) and societal stability.

  • These stories are neither history, as we commonly conceived it, nor empirical science.

  • Instead they are investigations into the structure of Being itself

  • and calls to action within that Being.

  • They have deep psychological significance

  • Hi, everyone. I just wanted to make a quick video to

  • remind everyone or let everybody who's watching know that I'm

  • Starting my series on the stories of the Bible.

  • The psychological significance of the stories on the Bible, on Tuesday May 16th, at the Isabel Bader Theatre in

  • Downtown Toronto, I'll put the address and everything at the bottom of the video in the description

  • I want to delve into the biblical stories from a psychological perspective

  • And I wanted to do it for a long time and have done it in part in my maps of meaning series

  • But the biblical stories are

  • What, they're canonical in relationship to the rest of our culture.

  • it's very difficult to understand western civilization itself unless,

  • you're grounded in the biblical stories.

  • They are like a precondition for knowledge of the humanities

  • and a knowledge of history for that matter and so I want to improve my

  • understanding of them, and share what I'm able to figure out with everybody that I can, and so

  • I wanted to just make a quick video to let everyone know that

  • I'm going to run a 12-week series, about two hours lecture per week

  • Starting May 16th and running till approximately mid-august.

  • pretty much every week except a couple where I couldn't get the theater.

  • It's pretty nice theater so that would be good. I'd also like to let everybody know that the videos will be taped

  • Thanks to my patreon subscribers, and put on YouTube probably within a week or two after I initially show them

  • As soon as we can get them edited and all of that, so

  • Anyways - there's still season tickets left

  • That's the tickets that will allow you entrance to all of the lectures, and there are individual tickets left for each lecture as well

  • And you can get those at JordanBPeterson.com

  • but as I said I'll put all the instructions and the details in the description of the video below, so

  • tune in on YouTube if you're inclined to and if you're in Toronto

  • And you'd like to see them live then come down and see them live it should be really interesting

  • I hope that's the plan anyways, so, thanks a lot and hopefully we'll see you there otherwise

  • Well, you'll see them on YouTube, and that's good, too. Thanks a lot bye-bye
