Crossway

Crossway is a not-for-profit Christian ministry that exists to proclaim the gospel through publishing in order to, by God's grace:

• Assist individual Christians and the church in growing in knowledge and understanding of the Christian life;
• Bear witness to God's truth, beauty and holiness, and to the Lordship of Christ in every area of life;
• Help bring men, women, and children to Christ as their Lord and Savior;
• Glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in every way.

The ministry of Crossway began in 1938 as Good News Publishers, focusing primarily on the publication and distribution of gospel tracts. In 1979, Good News Publishers expanded by introducing a book publishing division—Crossway Books. Since its inception in 1979, Crossway Books has been privileged to publish more than 1,500 different titles, including books by Francis A. Schaeffer, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, John MacArthur, J. I. Packer, Chuck Colson, Frank Peretti, Max Lucado, Joni Eareckson Tada, and D. A. Carson. To date, just under 26 million books have been distributed by Crossway, all fueled by Crossway’s desire to see God’s Word applied to every area of life.

Crossway is also the publisher of the English Standard Version of the Bible (ESV). In the years since its initial publication, the ESV has become the translation of choice for many churches, denominations, ministries, and families around the world. It is also the fastest growing translation and continues to be published in new editions both in the United States and internationally.

Crossway’s goal is to continue seeking the glory of God in everything we do—to proclaim his truth in power; to reflect his glory in content and design; and to express something of his holiness and grace to a fallen world.
