Fortress Forum An Interview with Daniel Maguire

Fortress Press: Is the study of ethics more crucial now than at other times in history?

Dan Maguire: Humanity--along with the planet we now dominate--is caught in the crosshairs of twinned threats: ecocide and militaristic binging.

Fortress Forum An interview with Heikki Räisänen

Fortress Press: In your new book The Rise of Christian Beliefs, you offer an "alternative" to New Testament theology, thus continuing a project begun years ago with your plea for moving "beyond New Testament theology."
