I’m resurfacing after a couple of months of submersion in the work of the Witherspoon Institute , including our summer seminars , preparation for the American Political Science Association (canceled due to Hurricane Isaac!), and some September weeks on tour to various colleges and other venues to speak on the subject of religious liberty. I spoke last month at Hillsdale College in Michigan, Neumann University in Aston, Pennsylvania, Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, and St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. My thanks to all my gracious hosts.
Hillsdale has published a slightly abridged version of my lecture, “Individual, Community, and State: How to Think About Religious Freedom,” as the September issue of Imprimis . You can see it online here , or download a PDF here . Imprimis is free (in print!) on request, by the way, if you give Hillsdale your address here .
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.
