Looking to expand your Lutheran book collection? Here is a list of Lutheran publishing houses, including both denominational and independent publishing houses. And, because I can, there is a list of Lutheran journals and periodicals at the end, as well.
Generally, the denominational publishing houses focus on Lutheran resources with broad appeal. Several of the independent publishers focus on republishing and reprinting gems from the past in smaller press runs. Still, there are places for new works, too, and I hope to uncover more!
Let me know if there are more to add: the more Lutheran publishing houses and journals the better!
