The Pilgrim Press & Stillspeaking Publications
The Pilgrim Press is a bold voice with a rich heritage.
Bearing the name of William Brewster’s Pilgrim Press (publishing from 1617-1619), the history of The Pilgrim Press includes the Bay Psalm Book produced in 1640 by the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony—making ours the oldest English-language publishing tradition in North America. Today we publish books that nurture spiritual growth, cultivate religious leadership, and provoke the soul for the sake of a just world.
