This week our friends at Patheos are hosting a symposium on the future of evangelicalism . There are a number of noteworthy contributors—Mark Noll, Marvin Olasky , Andy Crouch, William Lane Craig, Rodney Stark—and a few of lesser interest (namely, me). Along with my submission (” Our Unevenly Distributed Future “), you can find essays by our Evangel bloggers Matthew Anderson (” New Life in Ancient Sources “), and Justin Taylor (” The Evangelical Reformed Movement: A Comeback “).
And in case you missed them, you can catch up on the symposiums on the future of Catholicism and Mainline Protestantism .
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.
