  • Harold Camping and the End of the World
    HAROLD CAMPING AND THE END OF THE WORLD Rev Dr Jos Strengholt © As part of a PhD thesis I wrote about Harold Camping, the man who is now warning that 21 May will be the end of the world. Here an abstract from my Phd of what I wrote about Camping and his work and views. I have not included his calculations for now adopting 21 May as the final date. 1. HISTORY Family Radio was set up by Harold Camping (b. 1921) as Family Stations Inc. in Oakland, California (USA) in 1958. Camping finished his studies of Civil Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in 1942. Thereafter he began Camping Construction. He later sold that successful business and devoted himself fully to the Family Radio ministry.1 Camping was a member of the Christian Reformed Churches in North America (CRCNA) when he founded Family Radio. He left that denomination in 1988, when he was no longer allowed to teach his eschatology in his 1 Www.familyradio.com. See also the transcript of ‘Interview with Harold Camping’ by Stephen C. Meyers (8 June 1994), on www.bibleandscience.com/otherviews/camping.htm (30 September 2004). Meyers wrote that Camping married in 1942 with Shirley Vander Schuur whom he knew from Alameda Reformed Church. Many in the Reformed churches in the USA have Dutch ancestry. local congregation. He described Family Radio as ‘a nonprofit, nondenominational, educational organization dedicated to obeying our Lord's command to preach the Gospel to every creature. ’ It was ‘not associated with any organization, religious or political.

    MEDIA NETWORK VINTAGE VAULT: AN INDEX An Index to Media Network online recordings posted through July 2016 Compiled by Jerry Berg, [email protected] This index to the recordings posted by Jonathan Marks on his Media Network Vintage Vault website has been prepared in order to make it easier to locate recordings on particular topics. Jonathan continues to post additional programs periodically, and this index covers all those that have been posted through the month and year shown above (new entries are in bold and asterisked). Jonathan has explained the background and structure of the Vintage Vault from time to time; see MN1209-01, MN1401-02, MN1505-11, and (the latest) MN1512-01. There are hundreds of programs in the Vintage Vault. Each program has a written summary description prepared by Jonathan. These can be found in monthly groupings shown on the right-hand side of the Vintage Vault website pages. The months and years shown there are the months and years when Jonathan posted that group of recordings and summaries. (Most of the summaries also show the program’s original broadcast date.) The entries in this index are based on the summaries. In some cases Jonathan’s summaries are detailed, in others they are more general, and the index reflects this. In a few cases I have gone back to the recordings to clarify an item, but in general I have relied on Jonathan’s summaries. It is important to note that even the most detailed of the summaries do not describe the full content of a given program.
