Dear
Reader,
I refuse to begin this email by stating that FIRST THINGS is more than a magazine. We are a print magazine and proud of it.

Yet we would be remiss not to use our educational programs and digital media to introduce FIRST THINGS to new audiences. What follows is a brief snapshot of how we began to do this more and better in 2022.

Moreover, we are already well on our way toward growing both here in 2023. With your support, we will bring FIRST THINGS to thousands of new readers this year.

Some of FIRST THINGS’ most influential contributions to the public conversation have come through public lectures. In 2022, we featured Joshua Mitchell (Washington, D.C. Lecture), Carl R. Trueman (Austin Lecture), Ross Douthat (Chicago Conversation), and Archbishop Anthony Fisher (Erasmus Lecture). I look forward to announcing our 2023 lectures soon.

To reach those not physically present, we publish many of our lectures in the magazine. More recently, we have also begun to live-stream and record them, enjoying healthy viewership by readers who can’t attend in person.

In June, we published our first-ever video essay to the FIRST THINGS YouTube channel. Like the event recordings, we publish these video essays primarily to reach audiences whose default media is digital while retaining the depth and thoughtfulness that defines FIRST THINGS.

Our 2022 video essays included Aaron Renn on “The Three Worlds of Evangelicalism,” Carl R. Trueman on “The New Public Liturgy,” Shadi Hamid on “How Modernity Swallowed Islamism,” and Aaron Kheriaty on “The Rise of the Biomedical Security State.” I encourage you to check these out if you have not already.

With your support, we hope to grow our programs and media more in 2023, introducing FIRST THINGS to critical audiences—especially the future clergy, scholars, and civic leaders for whom our work will provide vital intellectual leaven.
