Some of you will want to know about a new journal being produced by graduate students at the University of Dallas’s Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts. Ramify is published annually, and the editions for 2010 and 2011 are out. The articles, written by Dallas professors, graduate students, and graduates, tilt to the philosophical and literary. Among articles in the first two issues are “Freiedrich Nietzsche and the Phenomenology of Prayer,” “Demonic Possession and Milton’s Sons of God,” “Wineskin or Windbag? Elihu and the Problem of Justice in the Book of Job,” and “An Analysis of Gilson’s Historical Method and Treatment of Neoplatonism.”

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.
