Press releases
If you don’t know my books or would like to know more about me, I am fortunate that many journalists write and record interviews with me both in Denmark (Politiken, Berlingske Tidende, Jyllands-Posten, Kristeligt Dagblad DR’s P1 and TV2’s GO’morgen Danmark and more) and abroad (including Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung and Dagens Nyheter). DR’s TV series “Jeg mødte Jesus” is now available at www.dr.dk and I myself host several programs about faith that can be heard at, among others www.Radio4.dk
All my books have also been reviewed in the leading media (Weekendavisen with three times praise, JyskFynske Medier with six stars).
To keep the conversation about faith alive in everyday life, I also write opinion pieces and columns myself.
Below are the nine articles that are closest to what I want to do with what I work with. Further down the page, there are a number of articles, reviews and columns by year. They are available in the form in which I am allowed to share them. It may require a subscription to read some of it in full. I hope you are happy to do so. The money goes to journalism, and we need it.
