"The Bereans received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."Acts 17:11 — the press's namesake
Berean Press is an independent publisher committed to books that deserve to be read slowly. We publish theology, literary fiction, and educational resources grounded in the historic, confessional Christian tradition.
We believe that with time comes wisdom — and that good books are among the means by which that wisdom is transmitted from one generation to the next.
Occasional correspondence on new publications, series updates, and news from the press. We write when we have something worth saying — no more than once a month.
We will never share your details. Unsubscribe at any time.
Berean Press takes its name and its disposition from the Bereans of the New Testament — those who received the apostolic word with eagerness and then tested it against Scripture. That same combination of readiness and rigour animates everything we publish.
We are an independent press, which means we are free to publish according to conviction rather than market. Our books are not optimised for algorithms or seasonal trends. They are written to last.
Our list spans confessional theology, literary fiction, and educational resources. What unites them is a commitment to careful thought, honest argument, and pastoral purpose. We write for the Church and for those within reach of it.
Berean Press is Reformed in conviction and ecumenical in interest — rooted in the historic creeds, confessions, and theological inheritance of the Reformation, while remaining in genuine conversation with the broader Christian tradition.
The press was founded on the conviction that good publishing is a form of service — to writers who deserve a careful editor, to readers who deserve a truthful book, and to the Church that needs both.
Our editorial process is exacting. We take time. We do not rush manuscripts into print. Every book that carries the Berean Press colophon has been read, questioned, argued over, and refined.
For any enquiry — about our titles, our projects, or the press itself — please do not hesitate to use the contact form.
Three projects are currently in active development at Berean Press. Each reflects a different facet of our publishing vision. You will find a brief introduction to each below, with links to read more, download free study materials, and purchase available titles.
Brief, accessible volumes addressed to the Church living between the Ascension and the Return. Each book takes a single theme — patience, hope, vocation, suffering, worship — and treats it with theological care and pastoral directness.
A novel structured around the seven deadly sins, told through seven visits by a young man to a retired Catholic priest receiving end-of-life care. What begins as a school biography project becomes something far deeper — and far more personal — for both of them.
Companion notes to accompany The Theology Tutor YouTube channel, providing written resources for self-directed study, small groups, and course settings. Each volume corresponds to a series of episodes and includes reading guides and discussion questions.
The Christian life is lived in a particular kind of time — after the first coming, before the second. It is time shaped by the Resurrection and charged with expectation. While We Wait is written for ordinary Christians living faithfully in this in-between season.
The book is structured in three parts, each drawn from one of the parables in the Olivet Trilogy — the three parables Jesus tells in Matthew 24–25 about how his followers are to live in the time before his return.
Part One: Be Ready — based on the Parable of the Ten Virgins, this section asks what it means to become the kind of person who is ready to answer the call of Jesus on their life. Readiness is not a moment but a formation.
Part Two: Be Faithful — based on the Parable of the Talents, this section looks at how we manage the resources God has entrusted to us, and what it means to grow as faithful stewards of all that we have been given.
Part Three: Be Accountable — based on the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, this section challenges us to live the lives Jesus calls us to — lives marked by service, gratitude, and a serious reckoning with how we treat those around us.

Alongside the main book, the While We Wait series includes a collection of shorter booklets, each focusing on a specific aspect of faith or devotion during this season of waiting. Where the book takes a broad view, the booklets go deep on a single theme.
The first booklet, Prayer in the Waiting, is available now as a free download. A softback printed edition is not yet available — register your interest using the panel on the right and you will be notified when it is ready to order. Further titles in the booklet series will follow.
A Reasonable Confession is a novel structured around seven chapters, each corresponding to one of the seven deadly sins. The sins are not treated as grave theological indictments but as windows into ordinary human struggle — pride, envy, sloth, and the rest, examined with honesty and without melodrama.
The novel is told through a series of visits. A young man named Andrew has been sent by his English teacher to conduct a biography project. His subject is Andrew — a retired Catholic priest receiving end-of-life care at the manse, known to his family through the housekeeper who arranged the introduction after years of devoted service. What begins as a school assignment becomes something far more significant for both men.
The two Andrews are not related. But they are connected in a way that only one of them knows: the younger Andrew is the son of the woman the older Andrew loved and gave up thirty years ago. That connection remains entirely unknown to the boy. He has come, as far as he knows, to interview a stranger.
Each visit opens a chapter and a sin. The conversations range across confession, regret, grace, and the strange mercy of time. The final chapter resolves in Andrew senior's self-forgiveness — and in his realisation that God had forgiven him long before he could forgive himself.
These notes are written to accompany The Theology Tutor YouTube channel and are designed specifically for students studying Religious Studies at A Level with the Eduqas examination board. Each set of notes corresponds directly to a video on the channel, and the two are intended to be used together.
The first four sets of notes — covering the authority of Jesus, the Incarnation, and the Resurrection in two parts — are available to download free of charge. Further notes will be available as a collected study bundle.
Notes are aligned to Eduqas A Level Religious Studies — Component 1: The Study of Religion and Themes.
The Theology Tutor also addresses the questions that people actually ask — about Scripture, doctrine, and the Christian life. These are not academic exercises but attempts to give honest, careful answers at a level that is accessible without being shallow.
An introduction to the canon, covenant, and continuity — why Christians read both Testaments and how they hold together as a single narrative.
Exploring the reasons why Jesus is important — his birth and what it means, his resurrection and its significance, and the content of his message. A question that turns out to have a great deal riding on the answer.
Matthew presents Jesus as the new Moses. If that is right, how does the Lord's Prayer reflect the pattern of Moses' laws and covenant? A close reading of Matthew 6:9–13 in the light of that question.
