'A perilous venture'

Faithful friends—and critics—reflect on 20 years together in the trenches

Terry Eastland

"The average life of a magazine is three years. WORLD is 20 years old and counting—an achievement worthy of notice even from the mainstream media. What distinguishes WORLD is its steadfast effort to report and understand events with due regard for man’s sin and God’s grace. The columnists invariably have something to say, often on subjects seldom addressed in other news and opinion magazines. WORLD’s impressive contribution is to remind a secular world that its categories for interpreting the lives of individuals and nations are too narrow, indeed that eternity has been set in the hearts of men, that this world is not all there is."
—Terry Eastland is publisher of The Weekly Standard
