Description
In this lecture Peterson points to the everyday-ness of the language of the New Testament as paradigm for our spirituality. Why not be a saint? Why just settle for a mediocre Christianity? Peterson asserts that a Saint is not an exalted state of spirituality to aspire for, but something to enter into.
