Press comments on Bres:

'Challenging reading material' and '[an] accessible, fresh looking magazine'

de Volkskrant

'The strangest spiritual magazine in the Netherlands has become normal'

Trouw newspaper

'There is a major gap between the truths of science and those of human life. In the restyled Bres, philosophy is a shaky negotiator between these two rock solid securities'

Ger Groot in The Green Amsterdammer
