Hope you’re enjoying your long weekend (if you have one). I’ve been spending my own long weekend on very important business, such as catching up on The Good Wife , so I hope that everybody else has been spending their time equally well. And here’s some Monday reading for you.
At Postmodern Conservative , Pete Spiliakos talks about the media .
Peter Leithart is as thoughtfully prolific as ever, so here are some highlights: Karl Barth , Annie Dillard , and Dante .
Dr. Boli on manners and capitalism .
And finally, William Doino defends Pope Francis, and R. J. Snell is lonely .
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.
