It’s Tuesday ! The sun rose, and here we are. And here these blog posts are:
At Postmodern Conservative , Carl Scott reminds us that “1989 was a while ago.” Some of us were born then, Carl . . . .
Peter Leithart discusses maverick Bible scholars and the slipping of Solomon .
It looks like Dr. Boli recently got on an airplane .
Stephen H. Webb thinks pacifism is silly .
Today is also the feast day of St. Theresa of Avila. You should probably go read some of her work . In honor of St. Theresa, I also suggest reading Middlemarch , which opens with the following words: “Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa . . . ?”
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.
