Vox Nova at the Library: Journal of Catholic Social Thought

Michael found a pleasant surprise yesterday while browsing through the journals section at my university library: the Journal of Catholic Social Thought. The journal is relatively new founded in 2003 by Villanova faculty, if I am not mistaken. The cost of annual subscription is $40 (for U.S. residents and $60 for international subscribers) and the cost of past issues is $30. Click here to subscribe.

Here is the Table of Contents of their past Summer 2007 issue (Their Winter 2008 issue we were looking at yesterday looks even better!):
