    • American theologians’ application of the Church’s moral teaching and the adjustment of the theological tradition from Europe to American culture and mores.
    • Theological, pastoral, and practical responses to moral issues, including artificial contraception, divorce and remarriage, etc.
    • The teaching of moral theology in seminaries, including the use of manuals, and Confessional theology and practice
    • Within the U.S. context, application of moral theology to justice issues, including racism, abortion, euthanasia, poverty, the economy, nuclear weapons, war, human rights, and immigration, etc.
    • American contributions to developments in moral theology, including the role of conscience, issues in bioethics and sexuality, and its relationship to psychology. 
    • Studies of leading U.S. moral theologians, including Francis J. Connell; John Ford, SJ; Charles E. Curran; Richard McCormick, SJ; William E. May, and Germain Grisez, etc.  
    Scholars considering a submission are asked to contact the editor, Fr. David Endres at DEndres@mtsm.org before preparing a contribution. Approximate length is 7,000-10,000 words. We ask for submissions by August 1, 2021 and look forward to hearing from potential contributors.
