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 106 of the Journal, produced in December 2010, is this month’s free sample volume. In this Friday Feature you will hear excerpts from interviews with Adam Briggle on a rich framework for bioethics policy; John C. Médaille on the myth of moral neutrality in economics; Christian Page on how Church choral music’s influence on the West; Christian Smith on why sociologists need a deeper account of human nature; Herman Daly on Wendell Berry’s arguments in What Matters? Economics for a Renewed Commonwealth; and Thomas Hibbs on nihilism in the films of Woody Allen.
