Happy Tuesday! Here’s what we have for you today.
The Puritans did not have “art,” in the modern sense, says Maureen Mullarkey —just beauty .
Peter Leithart is reading about: Dickens , Auerbach , Joban complaints , Abraham , and cinematic sex .
Here at First Thoughts , we have Dale M. Coulter on immigration: “Given the doctrine of creation, Christians have always respected the rule of law where law refers not primarily to civil laws, but to the eternal law.”
On the Square today, Henry Olsen reminds Republicans to care for regular people, while Dylan Pahman reminds the Ecumenical Patriarch of . . . well . . . the same thing.
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.
