The idea that abortion contributes to American prosperity is belied by blue state chaos and discontent, and even more so by the success of red states that restrict abortion. firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
Why is a foreign policy strategy of realism and balance of power actually *more* moral than a more idealistic approach? I laid out the argument in @firstthingsmag. 1/ firstthings.com/article/2022/1…

The good life is one in which these mortal goods are shaped into an offering of thanks to the God who gives us everything we have. That offering beautifies our mortal life. firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
The ends for which the Arabs were fighting, under Lawrence’s direction, proved at odds with the plans of his British superiors, who had to satisfy the even more demanding French. firstthings.com/article/2024/0…

When the always well-written and often wrongheaded New Yorker dislikes something, chances are good that I’ll like it—a principle that holds, with certain reservations, in the case of “Dignitas Infinita.” firstthings.com/web-exclusives…

All around me is the music that moves the spheres, and I do not need to be a formal scholar to be caught up in its dance. I can be a mother and still a philosopher. firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
I’ve come to understand that theater, in our time, isn’t a genre of entertainment. It is, for me at least, a refuge and a place of consolation: a castle at the edge of the desert in the late empire of the human soul. | @FOMO_sacer firstthings.com/article/2024/0…
When a Jewish woman asked for help, Casper ten Boom did not hesitate: “In this household, God’s people are always welcome.” | @JVanMaren firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
The goal of every large-scale Christian political effort is a return to normalcy, with each man joyful under his own vine and fig tree. In a world of death and vapor, Radner, like Solomon, invites us to find joy at the table in the mist. | @PLeithart firstthings.com/web-exclusives…

The pagan of the ancient world may have held a moral worldview alien to ours, but he was no nihilist. Quite the opposite. For the pagan, immanence was indeed his lived reality. firstthings.com/article/2024/0…

If parents find out about their child’s new identity and seek counseling, they will discover that twenty-two states and over one hundred local governments have now adopted so-called “conversion-therapy bans.” | @LukeWGoodrich firstthings.com/web-exclusives…
The future has not happened yet. Hence a theologian can hardly appeal to it to provide an objective foundation for his claims. | @FeserEdward firstthings.com/article/2024/0…
Secularism is less a product of our abundance and our pursuit of material goods than it is our forgetfulness of death. | @PLeithart firstthings.com/web-exclusives…

Again, this messaging--which failed miserably in Michigan and Ohio--will continue to fail until pro-life groups realize that only making the case against abortion can persuade voters to reject it. The abortion groups are saying that women will die if pro-life laws are not…

The way the ten Booms lived and died is a powerful example to all of us--especially now, when antisemitism is surging on both the Left and the Right.
On the wall in the dining room hangs the family motto: Jesus is Overwinnaar; Jesus is Victor. The lives and deaths of the ten Booms are a testament to that beautiful truth. | @JVanMaren firstthings.com/web-exclusives…

An excellent column on C.S. Lewis and women in the priesthood. "What Lewis grasped intuitively, and [Pope] Paul VI articulated explicitly, is that masculine imagery is not a thing indifferent when it comes to the priesthood and its sacramental representation."
For C. S. Lewis, we live in a sacramental universe, and the mysteries of male and female are signs of something more, and “symbolize to us the hidden things of God.” Gender neutrality in the priesthood and marriage changes the story those vocations tell. firstthings.com/article/2024/0…
Religious populism was not magically conjured by Trump. It has come to the fore because religious believers are increasingly excluded from important institutions. firstthings.com/article/2024/0…

Joe Lieberman was an unabashedly proud man of faith. He knew how much of America's greatness and goodness stemmed from the Founders' commitment to Judeo-Christian virtues and to religious liberty. For that he was appreciated by millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle…
