Happy Thursday! Here’s what we have for you to read:
Over at Postmodern Conservative , Carl Scott thinks about Terry Teachout’s criticism of pop culture writing, and Pete Spiliakos analyzes the House That Olbermann Built.
Peter Leithart is reading about: rebellious thumbs, sex in Ancient Rome, Lucian Freud , Moses , and elders .
Here at First Thoughts , Dale M. Coulter writes on why the Fundamentalist-Modernist paradigm needs to go, Phillip Cary continues his careful reading of Genesis, and Joseph Knippenberg discusses openly atheist politicians (the lack thereof).
And On the Square today, William E. Simon Jr. discusses a new model for Catholic parishes, while Pete Spiliakos methodically dissects Marco Rubio’s image.
We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
