About Reformed Academic Press
Reformed Academic Press (RAP) is a theological publishing company focused on the production of both scholarly and popular literature. With the publication of every volume (whether its content is new or is a new edition of a rare, but classic work) RAP has as its aim the provision of sound and substantial Christian literature for the edification of the Church, and of the supply of important academic material for pastors and scholars pertaining to the Reformed tradition.
Reformed Academic Press has functioned since 1993 as an imprint is A Press Publishing, Greenville, South Carolina, USA, and was separately incorporated in 2003. Already RAP, has put numerous quality books into the marketplace of ideas. The authors, editors, and directors of Reformed Academic Press (RAP) hail from Reformed pastorates, Seminaries, institutions and churches on two continents, The Reverend Dr. J. Ligon Duncan, III (former John R. Richardson Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi), Senior Minister of the historic First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi, President of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and past Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is the Editorial Director of RAP.
RAP was founded to fill a void in the Christian publishing field. Even though new technologies make it feasible to produce quality Christian literature more inexpensively than ever before, market forces still cause important and substantial literature to be overlooked, while less useful content is published in preference to it.
The creation of RAP is intended to provide a partial remedy to this situation. By making the spiritual welfare of the Christian public its first consideration in the publication of literature, RAP intends to bring the “academy,” once more, into “the service of Christ and His people.” Hence, RAP has initiated an ambitious publishing venture which entails the production of both scholarly and popular titles. Every volume is either a new publication or a new edition of a rare, but classic work. RAP has as its aim the provision of sound and substantial Christian literature for the edification of the Church. Some titles are aimed at the laity, while others are primarily intended for the pastorate or academic guild. But all of them reflect a pastoral concern for the edification of the people of God.
