In recognition of a number of significant anniversaries occurring this year, the Journal of Markets & Morality invites submissions for a special theme issue, "Modern Christian Social Thought" (vol. 14, no. 2).
The year 2011 marks the 120th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, the
encyclical from Leo XIII in 1891 that inaugurated the subsequent social encyclical tradition. 2011 also marks the 20th anniversary of John Paul II's encyclical Centesimus Annus, which was promulgated at the centenary of Rerum Novarum.
This year is also the 120th anniversary of the First Social Congress in Amsterdam, which has become well-known as a representative of the trend of European social congresses in the last half of the nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth centuries. Abraham Kuyper, the noted Dutch theologian and statesmen, gave the opening address at this First Social Congress, a speech that set the tone for addressing the "social question" in light of Christian ethical reflection.
In recognition of these important events and their bearing for the
course of Christian social thought over the last century and beyond, the journal welcomes submissions focusing on aspects of social thought in the various traditions, both within the Reformed or Roman Catholic tradition as well as in comparative and constructive dialogue between the two. This issue will include a new translation of a selection of by Abraham Kuyper. The journal also welcomes proposals for translation other important sources related to the issue's theme that have not been widely available previously in English. We also welcome submissions focusing on social thought in other Christian traditions, particularly
Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox, in the modern era (from roughly 1850 to today).
The special theme issue, "Modern Christian Social Thought," will appear in the Fall of 2011, and article submissions must be received by August 1, 2011, in order to proceed through the review process in a timely manner.
Queries are welcomed, as are submissions by international scholars and graduate students.
Please direct all correspondence and submissions to:
