The Institute for Religion and Public Life operates FIRST THINGS, a monthly journal focused on religion, culture, and public life. Based in New York City, the publication presents work through an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute that seeks to inform public discourse with a religiously informed philosophy for societal ordering. The journal and its parent institute target readers interested in the intersection of faith, culture, and public policy, addressing the role of religion in public life and offering context for contemporary debates. While FIRST THINGS originates from its New York base, the organization emphasizes a broad, nonpartisan scholarly approach to religious influence on civic conversations, and it has pursued initiatives such as year-end campaigns to maintain open access to its content. The institute is described as a small, dedicated entity within the writing and editing field, contributing to the broader landscape of religious and public-life journalism and research.
