Happy Friday! Here’s what we have for you as we head into the weekend:
Maureen Mullarkey sleeps through sermons .
What Peter Leithart is reading about: what Jesus ate, Trojan popes , Levinas , James Bond , Paul Ryan . He’s also still reading N. T. Wright, and Sara Coakley’s God, Sexuality, and the Self (posts one , two , three ).
Dr. Boli wants you to be safe .
Here at First Thoughts , the serpent makes his appearance in the Garden of Eden, Mark Movsesian breaks down the political situation in the Ukraine , and B. D. McClay justifies the existence of pop culture writing with The X-Files .
And On the Square today, Wesley J. Smith draws our attention to a miscarriage of justice, while Gina Dalfonzo praises a new adaptation of Great Expectations .
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.
