SUPPORT FIRST THINGS

Dear Reader,

Today we published one my favorite yearly pieces, "Our Year in Books." I encourage you to read it. Each year we ask our editors and contributors to offer up their reading lists. Some share personal reflections, others reviews. I believe we struck a healthy balance of fiction, biography, and philosophy for you to enjoy. And speaking of books, we are offering a selection to choose from, including Erasmus Lecture speaker Bishop Erik Varden's latest book Towards Dawn, for those who make a gift of $250 or more before midnight on December 31st.

We are 36 hours from the close of 2025 and our matching campaign. We're getting closer to matching the commitment of $250,000 from a group of generous supporters. Donate between today and December 31 so First Things can unlock the full value of this match.

A contribution before midnight December 31 ensures First Things continues to be America's leading publication on religion and public life. I thank you for sustaining us with your generosity and support.
