HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc. is a world-leading Christian content provider. Our parent company, HarperCollins Publishers, is the second-largest consumer book publisher in the world and is a subsidiary of News Corp. Though the Company was formed in 2012, its heritage dates back to the late eighteenth century. Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, two highly sought-after Christian inspirational brands, are the keystone publishing programs.
In 1798, Thomas Nelson founded his first publishing house in Edinburgh, Scotland, determined to make books, particularly Christian classics, affordable to the common man. In 1931, Pat and Bernie Zondervan began their publishing journey in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they began buying and selling books and Bibles. HarperCollins Publishers acquired Zondervan Publishers in the 1980s and Thomas Nelson in 2012, integrating the two similar, yet uniquely different, publishing groups under one leadership. Today, the strength of these great names—Thomas Nelson and Zondervan—continue to represent the highest quality in Christian publishing, creating the Company’s foundation.
With more than 300 years of combined publishing expertise, HarperCollins Christian Publishing has proven its ability to produce internationally known, bestselling content specializing in Bibles, spiritual growth, memoir, apologetics, business, cookbooks, children’s books, biographical, reference, academic, study resources, church curriculum, commercial and literary fiction, historical, romance, suspense, app development and new media.
