From Genesis To The Gospels: Understanding The Story Behind The World’s Biggest Holiday

Christmas is the most anticipated holiday of the year, not only because of the family gatherings, gift exchanges, carols, films, and traditions that make it memorable, but mainly because of the story behind Christmas that makes it meaningful.

Every year at Christmas, churches and people of faith blast the message, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” And of course he is, but what is the reason for Jesus? What is the story behind his becoming a man? What is the story behind mankind and its celebration of Christ’s birth?

This December, DailyWire+ members can walk with Dr. Jordan Peterson as he guides them through the foundations of Western faith and meaning, from Genesis to Exodus, from the Gospels to Logos & Literacy, revealing the structure underneath the holiday billions celebrate every year.

Through these series, viewers are guided back to the story of Christ, the roots of the season, and the texts that shaped our civilization.

Genesis

Explore the first book of the Bible and see it from unique perspectives in Peterson’s 15-episode series, “Genesis.” With a brand new introduction from liturgical artist and Christian thinker, Jonathan Pageau, this biblical series by Peterson explores the psychological significance of the biblical stories from the book of Genesis.

Exodus

Peterson returns to the Old Testament with a cast of Jewish and Christian scholars to uncover the depth of Exodus. For this series, Dr. Peterson gathered a team of formidable scholars for an unprecedented, in-depth analysis of Exodus, an academic work to be taken seriously in the modern era.

The Gospels

Peterson did not stop with exploring the texts of Genesis and Exodus. He followed up with a 10-part lecture series on the texts for which Genesis and Exodus lay the groundwork. In The Gospels, a series that is part of Peterson’s lifelong effort to rescue society from the meaning crisis that seeks to devour our culture, he gathers nine of the world’s most brilliant minds to unravel the mysteries of the Gospel story and to resurrect the anchoring principles of the text that formed the West.

Logos & Literacy

In this must-see feature-length documentary, viewers can embark on an enlightening journey as Peterson leads them through the Museum of the Bible. Logos & Literacy delves into the depths of the Bible’s impact on society and how it shapes our understanding of the world. Join Peterson as he meets with experts in history, theology, and philosophy to uncover the rich history of the Bible and its continued relevance in shaping our beliefs and values.

Person Of Interest Released As Police Intensify Manhunt For Brown University Shooter

A person of interest detained over the shooting at Brown University that left two dead and nine injured has been released as law enforcement continues to hunt for the gunman, officials said late Sunday. 

That announcement came one day after a gunman wearing all black stormed an engineering building and opened fire on a group of students studying for finals. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that evidence pointed law enforcement in a different direction. 

“There was some degree of evidence that pointed to this individual, but that evidence needed to be corroborated and confirmed,” he said at a press conference on Sunday. “That evidence now points in a different direction. So what that means is that this person of interest needs to be, and should be released.”

Neronha added that it was unfortunate that specific information about the person of interest had been leaked to the media. 

“I think what is really unfortunate [is] that this person’s name was leaked to the public. It’s hard to put that back in the bottle, OK? So we’re going to proceed very carefully here,” he said. “
There is too much at stake for the victims of this horrific crime and their families to take chances with respect to this investigation.”

When the person of interest was initially detained by law enforcement, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said that authorities were not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack. Perez said Sunday that the person of interest was not the individual captured on video that was released by the police department. Law enforcement is still looking for the person shown in the video.

At the same press conference, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said the investigation was ongoing but that they did not believe there was any ongoing threat to the community.  

“We know that this is likely to cause fresh anxiety for our community, and we want to reiterate what we said earlier, which remains true, which is ever since the initial call, now a day and a half ago, we have not received any credible or specific threats to the Providence community,” he said. 

Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee said he spoke with FBI Director Kash Patel before the press conference to inform him that the person of interest would be released. He said Patel told him federal resources would continue to be provided while the search was ongoing.
