It’s Wednesday! Here’s some stuff for you to read:
Peter Lawler has a quiz over at Postmodern Conservative : your choices are TRUE, FALSE, or ESSAY.
Peter Leithart has a post on Exodus and also a post on mimesis : “Are any of these [societal] roles me, or am I someone else who plays these roles, or am I perhaps the sum of all of them?”
Here at First Thoughts , R. R. Reno calls for a new Christopher Lasch.
On the Square today, we have George Weigel’s review of George Rutler’s new book, and B. D. McClay wants to you to read Shirley Jackson.
(If you already read Shirley Jackson, enter this short story contest in order to complete one of her unfinished stories. It seems you will not be compensated in money, but I’m sure you’ll receive endless glory.)
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.
