Dear
Reader,
While there is nothing new under the sun, our thirty-sixth installment of the Erasmus Lecture may boast the most dour-sounding title yet: The Desecration of Man.
Nevertheless, Carl Trueman's lecture promises to break new ground on a familiar topic: the still-unfolding consequences of the sexual revolution and what we can do to reverse its attendant desecration of the human person. By lighting a torch in the darkness, he will illumine our path toward the greater light.
I, for one, can’t wait to hear what he has to say. And I hope to see you there on October 30 at the Union League Club of New York. Reserve your ticket now at firstthings.com/Erasmus or using the button below.
For those unable to join us in person, the Lecture will be live-streamed on the F IRST T HINGS Facebook and YouTube pages.

Eight years ago, we added a Poetry Reading to the annual Erasmus festivities—a fitting kickoff to our flagship program. This year, we happily welcome Catharine Savage Brosman as our eighth annual Erasmus poet. The reading will take place at the F IRST T HINGS editorial office (9 East 40 th Street) on Sunday, October 29 at 5 p.m. Wine and cheese will be served.
