Étienne H. Peterson était un auteur américain très respecté dans les domaines de la religion et de la spiritualité, connu pour ses nombreux écrits sur la foi et la spiritualité. Il est né à Stanwood, dans l'État de Washington, et a grandi à Kalispell, dans le Montana. Peterson a poursuivi des études supérieures à l'Université de Seattle Pacific, où il a obtenu un diplôme en philosophie. Il a ensuite approfondi ses études au Séminaire théologique de New York, où il a obtenu un diplôme en théologie, et a ensuite décroché une maîtrise en langues sémitiques à l'Université Johns Hopkins.
Peterson n'était pas seulement un auteur accompli, mais aussi un pasteur, chercheur et poète. Pendant de nombreuses années, il a été le professeur James M. Houston de théologie spirituelle à l'Université Regent de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. En plus de ses activités académiques, Peterson était également le pasteur fondateur de l'Église Christ Our King Presbyterian à Bel Air, dans le Maryland. Sa carrière d'écrivain s'est étendue sur plusieurs décennies, au cours desquelles il a écrit plus de trente livres, dont le lauréat du prix Book Award d'or, Le Message : La Bible en langage contemporain, une traduction contemporaine de la Bible.
Dans ses dernières années, Peterson s'est retiré de la vie publique et s'est installé avec sa femme, Jan, dans le pays du Grand Ciel de campagne rurale du Montana. Il a continué à écrire et à publier des livres, dont son dernier livre, As Kingfishers Catch Fire, publié en 2017. Les contributions de Peterson au domaine de la littérature religieuse et spirituelle étaient significatives et ses œuvres restent largement saluées pour leur perspicacité et leur accessibilité. Il est décédé en octobre 2018 des complications liées à l'insuffisance cardiaque congestive.
