The Wisdom of Father James Schall

Ken Masugi once again shares with us this Advent. A taste:

What America has learned at its best is how to create a city for mortal men while recognizing their passing thorough this world. It does not offer a this-worldly heaven but simply a way to rule themselves, provide for families, a sense of self-achievement, and service to others. It is precisely these virtues that seem to be under fire within America itself. The government and its elites have a different agenda, that of worldly happiness itself as an alternative to living a responsible, disciplined life in this world, knowing that four score years are about right. It is not an accident that the point of controversy is most often over the nature of the family, over begetting, virtue, and standards of integrity.

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.
