The Center for Law and Religion (CLR) at St. John’s University School of Law, which is under the direction of First Things contributor Professor Mark L. Movsesian, has launched a very impressive new blog called the CLR Forum . It includes a Scholarship Roundup , which comprehensively compiles the latest law-and-religion scholarship in American law reviews and foreign journals, as well as books from law and other disciplines, and a Commentary section by CLR faculty and student fellows on law-and-religion issues. There are also useful links to law and religion research centers, blogs and news sites, as well as information about CLR programs and faculty publications . For more, see this message from Professor Movsesian .
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.
