Happy Thursday! Here’s what we have for you to read:
Over at Postmodern Conservative , Carl Scott thinks about Terry Teachout’s criticism of pop culture writing, and Pete Spiliakos analyzes the House That Olbermann Built.
Peter Leithart is reading about: rebellious thumbs, sex in Ancient Rome, Lucian Freud , Moses , and elders .
Here at First Thoughts , Dale M. Coulter writes on why the Fundamentalist-Modernist paradigm needs to go, Phillip Cary continues his careful reading of Genesis, and Joseph Knippenberg discusses openly atheist politicians (the lack thereof).
And On the Square today, William E. Simon Jr. discusses a new model for Catholic parishes, while Pete Spiliakos methodically dissects Marco Rubio’s image.
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.
