A reader of the “Catholic Sense” column I write for the Pittsburgh Catholic and a few other diocesan newspapers writes:
I believe we Catholics could do much better at defending our faith. Would you recommend books on Basic Christian apologetics (CS Lewis type of apologetics) and Catholic apologetics.
I will be sending him some suggestions but I would be grateful for recommendations from you. In three categories: the two he lists and a third offering Protestant apologetics, which may include works arguing directly against Catholicism.
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.
