Plus Marilynne Robinson on the Bible
| This Thursday:
Sue Halpern in conversation with Marc Elias Thursday, March 12th at 5 PM EDT New York Review contributor Sue Halpern hosts the attorney and voting rights expert Marc Elias for a wide-ranging conversation on threats to American voting rights, including gerrymandering, campaign financing, and the SAVE Act. The event, conducted via Zoom, will last approximately ninety minutes including an audience Q&A session. This event is pay-what-you-wish (with a suggested fee of $10) and open to the public. Four weekly sessions, starting May 6, 2026 Each week will focus on a book from the New Testament: Luke, Acts, First Corinthians, and John. The course as a whole is intended to draw attention to the fact that the Scriptures are, whatever else, a very great literature. Considering their importance to Western Civilization, it is remarkable how vulnerable they are now to misuse and ridicule. Over centuries writers returned to these texts, confident of finding a high order of meaning in them, as great writers have done for centuries after the canon was closed. This is far too extraordinary a phenomenon to be left to cynical use or to neglect.
