Reformers (Reformers Bookshop) is a non-profit[1] Christian wholesaler and bookseller operating in Australasia , plus telephone, internet and mail order worldwide.[2]
Originally set up in 1983 as a faith-based book ministry by a married couple of Stanmore Baptist Church[3] to sell Banner of Truth literature,[4] Reformers expanded its range over the years and in 2007 became a Reformed Baptist/Presbyterian joint venture[5] in partnership with the Theological Education Committee[6] of, and (from July 2009) the Trustees[7] of, the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales .[8] Its stated goal is to make available the best in historic and contemporary Christian literature ,[9] and its range reflects the theological stance of its various joint venture partners i.e. evangelical , Reformed and conservative i.e. with a high view of the Bible as the ultimate authority in all things of which it speaks.[10] Its senior staff are theologically trained to ministerial level.[11]
In contrast with the multi-store approach of Koorong , Reformers appears to have adopted a single-distribution-centre-cum-internet strategy for sales and order fulfilment.
Reformers is the sole Australian trade distributor[12] for both The Good Book Company ,[13] with its well-known Christianity Explored [14] and Discipleship Explored ranges (by Rico Tice and Barry Cooper ), and P&R Publishing .[15] Reformers is also an Australasian trade distributor or reseller for the imprints of a number of other well-known evangelical and Reformed publishing houses, including Christian Focus ,[16] Banner of Truth , Baker Book House , Good News Crossway , Day One ,[17] Eerdmans ,[18] Evangelical Press ,[19] Founders Press ,[20] Go Teach,[21] Granted Ministries,[22] Inter-Varsity Press UK , Ligonier Ministries , Matthias Media and Shepherd Press. Reformers trades under a number of other names throughout Australasia including Reformers Bookshop, Reformers Christian Bookshop, Great Christian Books and Advantage Plus.[23]
Reformers supplies the books, either directly or via third-party, to a number of significant Australian conferences, including the EQUIP Women's Conferences,[24] and Banner of Truth Conferences,[25] a biennial conference of Reformed speakers.
Reformers also provides books for students of various Reformed theological colleges ,[26] including the Presbyterian Theological Centre Sydney , the Queensland Theological College , the Presbyterian Theological College Melbourne [27] and the Reformed Theological College Geelong , as part of the Geneva Foundation grants.[28] It also supports Christian missions via its sale-or-return arrangements with congregations.[29] Reformers is a member of the Christian Bookselling Association of Australia.[30]
