It’s Thursday! Here’s what we have for you to read today:
Over at Postmodern Conservative , Carl Scott wants to clean house and Pete Spiliakos wants to qualify certain praises of Mike Lee.
Peter Leithart on the body and the soul: the ear , the bones , and hunger (more here ).
Here at First Thoughts , Greg Forster disdains Steven Pinker, Matthew Block looks at LutheranCatholic dialogue , and Dale M. Coulter looks at the (perhaps more surprising) PentecostalOrthodox dialogue .
And On the Square today, Russell E. Saltzman thinks we can learn from ancient astronauts (and Trekkies).
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.
