A Life Preserver

This entry in the First Things blog strikes some familiar chords for me.  Over the years I have read First Things, I too have been very thankful for the journal (and thus for the man Neuhaus) as a life preserver thrown to me in the midst of a confusing and confused culture. 

Too many of the Christians I have known have had little interest in the life of the mind, while too few of the intellectuals I have known felt any great attachment to a conservative reading of Scripture.  First Things has shown (and, God willing, will continue to show) me how one can think deeply and clearly about God and the world while remaining faithful to the Bible and the Body of Christ.
