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 140 of the Journal, produced in August 2018, is this month’s free sample volume. In this Friday Feature you will hear excerpts from interviews with Jeffrey Bilbro and Jack Baker about lessons higher education should learn from Wendell Berry; with Matthew Rubery about the history of audio book production and listening; with James Herrick about assumptions behind the transhumanist movement; with Timothy Gloege about the influence of modern business methods on the shaping of 20th century evangelicalism; with David Hollinger about the influence of the children of missionaries on American foreign policy; and with Barrett Fisher about Martin Scorsese’s film Silence
