We live in an age that champions an anti-religious religion, an anti-political (in its true, classical sense) politics, and an anti-moral morality.
 
FIRST THINGS will stand proudly with anyone who resists the nefarious spirit of our age. But a fully-orbed alternative requires more than resistance, which can of necessity only treat the symptoms of our malaise. 

A full recovery requires the substantive restoration of true religion, from which genuine freedom and widespread flourishing flow. In short, FIRST THINGS seeks to renew an orthodox faith that exhorts us to love God with heart, soul, strength, and mind.
 
As our Spring Campaign nears its conclusion, will you take up this standard of religious orthodoxy in the public square with us?

Reader,  this project of preservation and renewal requires significant investment. As the editors of FIRST THINGS, we have committed to publishing the world’s leading religious thinkers writing at their very best.
 
As a reader of FIRST THINGS, you too have committed to this standard-bearing effort. Today, we ask you to take the next step and make your first charitable gift in support of FIRST THINGS as part of our 2023 Spring Campaign, which concludes this Friday, June 30 at 11:59 pm.
 
The investment required is significant, but you are not alone. Already, four hundred and fifty-five readers like you have given $459,388 toward our $500,000 Spring Campaign goal.
 
With two days left, your gift is urgently needed to meet the $40,612 that remains of our ambitious goal. Take up the standard of religious truth with us by making your gift now.

With sincere gratitude,

The Editors
