This Should Be Interesting

Dinesh D’Souza and Peter Singer will debate “Is God the Source of Morality?” on Monday, September 13, with Eric Metaxas as moderator—brought to you by  Socrates in the City . Promises to be an interesting evening!

The New Yorker has called Peter Singer “the most influential living philosopher,” but his critics have called him “the most dangerous man in the world.” He is widely known for his view that animals have the same moral status as humans.

The New York Times Magazine has called D’Souza one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers, famous and infamous for his theories on religion, race, gender, and sexuality. He is the author of many best-selling books, including:  What’s So Great About Christianity ?

Registration is required to attend —and, no doubt, these seats will go fast.

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.
