Two of our writers here at Evangel have been up to no good of late. And you should know about it.
First, I subject our overlord Joe Carter (who is ultimately to blame for bringing together this rag-tag band of miscreants) to rigorous examination regarding his book, How to Argue like Jesus.
It’s a provocative name, and appropriately misleading. It’s just cheeky enough to get people to read the first chapter, where Joe and John Coleman begin their systematic rehabilitation of Christian argumentation and persuasion.
Second, our own John Mark Reynolds has joined with Phillip Johnson to pen the latest critique against The New Atheists in Against all Gods, which you should pre-order. I haven’t read it yet, but this review makes me think that it’s going to be a fair and candid contribution to the ongoing conversation about religion’s role in the culture and university.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
