    Journal of Markets & Morality Vol. 1, no. 1 (Spring 1998)– index Vol. 15, no. 2 (Fall 2012) Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 15, Number 2 (Fall 2012): 571–572 Copyright © 2012 Comprehensive Contributors Index Contributors Index Journal of Markets and Morality Vol. 1, no. 1 (Spring 1998)– Introduction Vol. 15, no. 2 (Fall 2012) To commemorate the fifteenth year and thirtieth issue of the Journal of Markets & Morality, the following index was conceived as a way to take a step back to survey what has been built upon a rather humble foundation. From its beginnings as a forum for scholarship and controversy on the morality of the marketplace, the Journal of Markets & Morality has grown to include symposiums on a variety of theological and social topics as well as translations of seminal works of early modern economics and law in our Scholia section and of important engagements between religion and society in the last two centuries in our Status Quaestionis section. We have had theme issues on a range of subjects from urban planning to economic personalism to modern Christian social thought. We entered the information age with online content and recently launched a new website with a searchable database of our archives, among other features. Taking back the scaf- folding of years of work and surveying the edifice hidden beneath has revealed an achievement that simultaneously humbles and evokes a sense of pride, but not a single wall of this building could have been built apart from the research, scholarship, and labor of our many contributors. This index, then, is especially a tribute to all those without whom the Journal of Markets & Morality could not be what it is today.
