News & Events

Last summer our Director, Nicholas Chapman, participated in a conversation with other small publishers as to how their work had been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This discussion, hosted by the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) has now been made available for non-members to read online here. We are posting this link here for anyone who might be interested to learn more about how small publishing houses, including Holy Trinity Publications, operate and how they have adapted in the past year.

On Thursday, February 11th, 2021, Bishop Luke of Syracuse chaired a regular bimonthly session of the Publications Committee.

The five-member committee of monks and HTP staff meets every two months to consider new proposals for publication, revisit previously discussed proposals, and review works in progress. Holy Trinity Publications welcomes submissions on a rolling basis. If you have a book idea that fits our mission, please review the guidelines and criteria at our page for prospective authors.

Holy Trinity Publications has signed contracts with two European publishers to make more works of famed Orthodox scholar Jean-Claude Larchet available in English. Dr Jean-Claude Larchet is one of the most notable living philosophers and authors on Orthodox Christian Patristics. A teacher of philosophy for nearly 35 years, he is an author of over thirty books and countless articles whose work has been translated into at least 17 languages. These translations will be the second and third works by Dr Larchet made available by Holy Trinity Publications, joining The New Media Epidemic: The Undermining of Society, Family, and Our Own Soul (2019).

French publisher Les Éditions du Cerf has granted to HTP rights to prepare a second English-language edition of Life After Death According to the Orthodox Tradition for release later this year. Life after Death provides an accessible and well organized synthesis of the ancient Christian understanding of death and the afterlife, drawing primarily on the Greek language writings of the Fathers of the Church. This work will be of benefit both to the Orthodox reader who wants to enhance their own understanding of their Church's teaching, and to Roman Catholics, Protestants and others who wish to become acquainted with the fullness of Christian tradition on death and the afterlife. They will encounter the abundant heritage of the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Life After Death According to the Orthodox Tradition was first published in English by the now-defunct Orthodox Research Institute and has been out of print for a number of years. The second edition is slated for publication on Sep. 1, 2020 and will be made easily accessible in both print and digital forms through our worldwide distribution arrangements.

HTP has also acquired English-language translation rights from Swiss publisher Éditions des Syrtes for Les fondements spirituels de la crise écologique [The Spiritual Foundations of the Ecological Crisis], a work which has yet to appear in the English language. The translation has been undertaken by Dr Andrew Torrance, translator of The New Media Epidemic. The time of publication will be announced at a later date.

The monks who came to Jordanville’s Holy Trinity Monastery from Eastern Europe after World War II brought with them a tradition of printing that stretched back to St Job of Pochaev in the seventeenth century. Through the fathers’ tireless efforts, the monastery has published over 500 Orthodox Christian books in Church Slavonic, Russian, and English.Today the monastery’s publishing work takes the name of Holy Trinity Publications, and over a hundred active titles are in print and available worldwide. To expand the reach of this timeless wisdom, we’re utilizing the latest technology to make many of these works available in new ways — as Print on Demand books, as e‑books, and now — as part of this daily podcast. 

Welcome to Jordanville Readings. Every weekday, we’ll bring you a 10 to 15 minute selection from our library: spiritual counsels from saints like the Righteous Father John of Kronstadt and the Holy Hierarch Ignatius Brianchaninov, biographies of hermits, monks, and martyrs, and much more. Listen on your morning walk, during your lunch break, or on your evening commute as we offer a daily dose from the Heritage of Orthodox Russia.

Subscribe to Jordanville Readings today at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts to automatically receive new episodes as they become available! We’ll also post new episodes every morning at Orthodox Life.

As the coronavirus continues to impact us all, we again face the perennial question of the role of suffering in the Christian life. Providentially, Holy Trinity Publications has been blessed to prepare a book perfectly suited to this time, a thematic collection of writings drawn from the letters of the 19th century Russian bishop and writer, St Ignatius (Brianchaninov). We joined Elena Borowski, translator of this new book, in conversation to discuss the spiritual treasury contained in St Ignatius’s writings, their impact on her own life, and what they might offer us in the current tumult of a worldwide pandemic. Time was also allotted for questions from the audience.

We're bringing back our tiered discounts on select Holy Trinity Publications titles, but this time we're kicking it up a notch:

Any seven or more items (mix and match) - 70%
Any six items - 60% off
Any five items - 50% off

Holy Trinity Publications will exhibit its newest releases and make a short presentation to diocesan clergy on the continuing work of ROCOR's principal publishing house.

PURITY OF heart is the prerequisite for saintliness, to which we are all called (Matt. 5:8). The heart is not simply the seat for our emotions. Contained within it is the nous, an ontological receptor finely attuned to the divine, known both by early Greek philosophers and the Holy Fathers of the Church. Matushka Mary Naumenko will share passages from her newly published book regarding the nous and the transformation of the protagonist in Dostoevsky's short story, Dream of a Ridiculous Man.

Holy Trinity Publications will exhibit our liturgical publications to attendees of the Annual Meeting of the North American Academy of Liturgy.

The Annual Meetings of the American Academy of Religion (AAR) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) is the world's largest gathering of scholars interested in the study of religion. More than 1,000 events take place during the Annual Meetings, including a plethora of academic sessions, workshops, meetings, receptions, and tours.

Holy Trinity Publications will be represented by our North American distributor, Independent Publishers Group (IPG), with a table dedicated to our books. Our Managing Director, Nicholas Chapman will also be present at the meeting and if you would like to discuss a proposal with him or any other matter please use the contact form to make an appointment.

We have a number of publishing projects for which we will be seeking sponsorship soon. We look forward to sharing developed, detailed and complete proposals for each with you.

Our latest books and a special conference discount will be on offer at the Biennial Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese Convention in Grand Rapids, MI. Find us at the Center Concourse, Booth #2.
