Peterson quite nearly addresses 10,000 different facets of Christianity in a manner that is deep and at times heady but still impacting and thought-provoking. I started reading this book in 2011 and just now am finishing it (but attribute this to being in grad school more so than a lack of interest in the book). I probably need to reread this book one day, particularly as my own understanding of theology has changed and grown over the past 3 years. In flipping back through the book, however, I have many a page dog eared and many a line underlined with notes in the margins - I was challenged throughout the reading to think deeper and examine my own understanding of who Jesus was and is. I also really like how Peterson emphasizes the interconnectedness of the church community, our duty to love one another, the call for us to be active participants in God's work, and the personal nature of our triune God who very much is relational and works relationally. If I were to recommend this book to anyone, I would be sure to forewarn the reader about how heady Peterson's writing can be and needing to be patient in reading through slowly so as to soak in what he is discussing (even if to disagree with his views).
