Imagine you are an omnipotent Creator determined to restore a world that is in rebellion against you and headed for hell. What would you do?
A flood, that would do it. Or, better, a huge fire. Wipe it out and start over. That would do it.
Would you pick out a single obscure sheik, send his descendants into slavery and then bring them out, give them a land and eventually kings, and then send them out of the land again? Would you deliver a set of laws, rituals, and institutions, demand that they organize their national life accordingly, and then change the rules a millennium and a half later? Would you eventually come in person to live under those institutions and to be killed for doing so?
How does that deal with sin, evil, injustice?
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.
