Overview

Since its inception, First Things has sought to offer intellectually robust commentary on politics, culture, religion, and where the three intersect in present-day society. With essays from world-class scholars and commentators such as John Azumah, Phillip Cary, and George Weigel, these most recent issues continue in that tradition. Covering topics like Islam, intolerance, education, marriage, mercy, and more, First Things provides penetrating commentary on the most pertinent issues of our time.
