That’s all the time you’ve got, folks, to bid on this “ABSTRACT MODERN GOD METAL ART WALL SCULPTURE RELIGIOUS.”

Now, I am puzzled. In a piece which bills itself as “abstract,” can you have a recognizable figure such as a cross?

I am relieved, however, to discover that the seller/artist has provided some helpful guidelines for buying art on eBay:

the artwork you acquire should provide you with visual satisfaction while retaining its value in the marketplace. there are two essential elements which allow artwork to retain or grow in value. first, the artist must be aggressively active in the global art industry and second, the artist must create robust, unique designs that will stand the test of time and exemplify their original techniques.


Gentle reader, you be the judge.

On second thought, maybe I’ll be the judge.

Dear Reader,

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.
