Dear
Reader,
When we launched the FIRST THINGS 2022 Fall Appeal, we asked you for input in addition to donations: namely, what is the best article you’ve ever read?

Before I reveal the most popular response (thus far!), I should mention that our 2022 Fall Appeal is not yet complete. To date, 591 readers have given $153,532, putting us within $26,468 of our $180,000 goal.

As our October 31 Fall Appeal deadline approaches, please help us reach, or even exceed, this ambitious target by making your contribution at www.firstthings.com/donate ([link removed]) .

We’ve been overwhelmed by the responses so far, with more than a hundred readers submitting their favorite articles. It is a diverse list, and the lack of a clear frontrunner testifies, I think, to the standard of quality we’ve set here at FIRST THINGS.

But without further ado, our readers’ current favorite FIRST THINGS article is Dana Gioia's “Christianity and Poetry" from our August/September 2022 issue. A worthy choice!

It’s neck and neck at the top, however, which means there is still time for your favorite article to make a late run and emerge victorious. Give today to support FIRST THINGS as we continue to publish the most thoughtful and penetrating religious voices today.

When you give, remember to write your favorite article in the Comments form. Thank you in advance for your generous support!
Yours,
R. R. Reno
