It's priced right (under $30 for a used edition) but the Kindle edition has some bad reviews, as the illustrations are, apparently, too small.

A timeless video on WLC is his debate with Professor Sean Carroll:

Basically, whatever Science uncovers about the natural world, theists will claim that it is so because "God wanted it that way."

But to understand Peskin&Schroder at all, you need at least an undergrad education in theoretical physics, better graduate level courses in classical mechanics, Edyn, QM, college level calculus and and complex variables.

Indeed, there are some prerequisites.  Khan Academy has a full range of videos for those who want to traverse the learning curve:

Foundational calculus and physics can be found here:

https://openstax.org/

And, finally, Advanced Calculus by Kaplan, Modern Physics by Krane, Quantum Mechanics & Electromagnetism by Griffith, and Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics by Reif should do the trick, although, I have read that Weinburg has a QFT 3-volume tome that assumes no prior knowledge!
