Readers amused or bemused by the radio preacher Harold Camping’s predictions that the world will go pear-shaped tomorrow may want to read Meghan Duke’s amusing and insightful Save the Date . She reviews some previous failed predictions, as well as the more widely respected secular versions, and then explains what Christians actually believe about this.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
