MARRIAGE, FAMILIES & SPIRITUALITY

Marriage, Families & Spirituality (MFS)

Marriage, Families & Spirituality (MFS) was founded in 1995 by INTAMS (International Academy for Marital Spirituality, Brussels/Leuven).

It is a specialized scholarly journal dedicated to theological and cross-disciplinary reflection and dialogue on marriage, families, relationships, spirituality, and related topics.

Among particular concerns of MFS are:

(1) to document the extent and the variety of emerging trends on marriage and families in theology, human sciences, and cultural studies ; 

(2) to offer innovative ethical, dogmatic, pastoral, canonical, liturgical, exegetical, and historical insights;

(3) to explore the  spiritual dimensions of marriage and family life.

MFS is a peer-reviewed journal, and appears twice a year. It is abstracted and indexed in Index Theologicus; Elenchus Bibliographicus (Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses); Canon Law Abstracts; CrossRef, Atla.com.

All issues since 1995 are available in Open Access.
