Over at Postmodern Conservative, we receive “word from the frozen North of America.”
Peter Leithart is reading David Bentley Hart’s The Experience of God (posts one, two, and three). He’s also got some posts on Isaiah and the Psalms.
Here at First Thoughts, Dale M. Coulter writes about the Charismatic invasion, Phillip Cary takes a brief detour on his way through Genesis, Robert P. George reminds everyone that Pope Francis is Catholic, Mark Movsesian talks about helping Mideast Christians, Carl R. Trueman wants to talk about Dylan Thomas and death, William Brafford had a Calvinist childhood, David T. Koyzis discusses the recent change in the language of christenings, and J. David Nolan revisits Papal Economics.
On the Square today, Stephen H. Webb discusses Karl Barth, and James R. Rogers talks about Catholics and conservatives.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
