Every volume of the Journal produced since November 1999 (Volume 40) is now available to members in our catalog, and on the first Friday of each month, we will highlight one of these archived collections of interviews. The entire highlighted volume will be available for one month to members and to anyone who signs up for a free Visitor’s Pass.*
Volume 102 of the Journal, produced in May 2010, is this month’s free sample volume. The nature of beauty is one of the large themes on this issue of the Journal. In this Friday Feature you will hear excerpts from interviews with Daniel M. Bell, Jr. on a rich interpretation of the just war tradition; Lew Daly on faith-based initiatives in a larger context; Adam K. Webb on community and economics; Stratford Caldecott (1953–2014) on the centrality of beauty in healing many modern fractures; James Matthew Wilson on how Jacques Maritain explained beauty’s revelatory power; and Thomas Hibbs on the art of Georges Rouault and Makoto Fujimura.
