Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend.
Over at Postmodern Conservative , we have a discussion of Strauss, Burke, and Lawler —and Pete Spiliakos indulges in some pop culture writing .
What Peter Leithart is reading about: baptism , anti-government toys , maps , biblical theology , Randy Schekman , Islamicism , happiness , and Corinthians . He is also reading Evangelii Gaudium (posts one , two , three , four ), reading N. T. Wright, and the Psalms ; and he’s watching the movie Panic .
Dr. Boli discusses coffee bigots and the corruption of the youth , receives your mail , and provides a new installment of the Illustrated Edition.
Here at First Thoughts , David Mills highlights Father O’Connor of the Bronx and writes on conservative anti-semitism , and Philip Cary makes a brief detour in his series on Genesis .
And On the Square today, Timothy George pays tribute to Mary, while R. R. Reno traces the Christmas story back to Abraham .
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.
