Last week, I asked if anyone wanted to join me on Facebook in reading Augustine’s City of God. The response overwhelmed me. I hoped about 30 people would join me, but the group currently has about 1,300 members. We’re having some lively discussion. I hope we can keep up the momentum longer than a week.
Some people expressed interest in reading and discussing Augustine but didn’t like the idea of Facebook. I’m happy to announce that David Reimer and some others at the University of Edinburgh have started a non-Facebook discussion group. Check it out here.
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.
