My friend thought I had slightly missed the point, or at least missed a point that should be made. In today’s “On the Square” column, The Apologetic Substitute , I relay my friend’s insights into the danger of replacing culture and with argument, and respond with some thoughts on the Pharisaical temptations of apologetics.
A note to young writers: find bright, interesting friends who’ll read you and respond. That will make your life much easier.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
