For those of you near Columbia, South Carolina: a symposium on Religion in the Civil War , to be held on Saturday, January 28th. The keynote speaker is the historian George C. Rable, author of God’s Almost Chosen Peoples: A Religious History of the Civil War , which both won the Jefferson Davis award and was praised by the New York Review of Books .
The first speaker, Joe Long, may be familiar to readers of “While We’re At It.”
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.
