For centuries the human spirit strove
To rise above the beast,
Gazed at the stars, and aimed at truth and love
With Socrates and Christ.
Till weary generations, faltering, found
That this was not a go;
Gazing at dirt, despondent, they sank down
With Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
