Bryntirion Press

Bryntirion Press is the publishing ministry of the Evangelical Movement of Wales (EMW), a registered charity that serves churches and Christians across Wales. The press produces Bible-based, gospel-centred books and resources, and its Welsh-language arm, Gwasg Bryntirion, publishes original Welsh titles and Welsh translations of Christian materials. The EMW describes its resourcing and publications work as providing resources and publications that are Bible-based and gospel-centred, and Gwasg Bryntirion is presented as the Welsh language branch of Bryntirion Press. Recent Welsh-language publications listed by the press include Y Beibl Canllaw (a Welsh study Bible), Bara'r Bywyd Lefiticus (described as the final devotional book in a series), Llewyrch i'm Llwybr (a Welsh-language calendar with verses for each day), and Geiriau Bywyd (a collection of clear and simple explanations of the meaning and significance of over 50 Biblical words and phrases, together with a reading, two hymns and a prayer associated with each). The press also produces courses and evangelistic booklets, including Darganfod Cristnogaeth (a Welsh translation of Christianity Explored) and Holi, a Welsh-language evangelistic magazine. The press operates within the wider work of the Evangelical Movement of Wales, which arose out of a work of God in North and West Wales communities and among students in Bangor and Aberystwyth in the 1940s. In 1948 a Welsh-language magazine, Y Cylchgrawn Efengylaidd, was established to support Christians and reach out to others with the gospel; within ten years an English-language counterpart followed and the work extended to conferences, youth camps, missions and other activities. Publishing has remained one of the movement's core ministries, and Bryntirion Press serves as its dedicated publishing imprint for books and resources in both Welsh and English. As a publisher, Bryntirion Press occupies a niche within Welsh religious and cultural life, providing Welsh-language Christian literature and study materials that might otherwise be scarce. Its catalogue spans study Bibles, devotionals, calendars, word-study guides, evangelistic courses and magazines. The press is not a commercial trade publisher in the conventional sense; it exists to serve the churches and Christians of Wales, and its output reflects the EMW's stated aims of expressing evangelical faith founded on the Word of God and guiding others to a saving knowledge of the gospel.

Bryntirion Press is the publishing arm of the Evangelical Movement of Wales (EMW), a registered charity that serves churches and Christians, helping them to glorify God, share the gospel throughout Wales, and build up believers. The EMW arose out of a work of God in some North and West Wales communities, and amongst students in Bangor and Aberystwyth, in the 1940s. In 1948 a Welsh-language magazine was established (Y Cylchgrawn Efengylaidd) with the aim of supporting Christians and reaching out to others with the good news of the gospel. Missions were organised, and within ten years the Welsh magazine was joined by an English-language counterpart, and the work extended to include conferences, youth camps, more missions and other activities. The work sought to fulfil aims set out in the first Welsh magazine: first, to give expression to the evangelical faith that is founded on the Word of God; second, to guide others to a saving knowledge of the gospel. Publishing has been central to the movement from its earliest days, beginning with the Welsh-language magazine in 1948 and the English-language counterpart that followed within a decade. Over time this publishing activity developed into a dedicated imprint, Bryntirion Press, which produces Bible-based, gospel-centred books and resources. The EMW's resourcing and publications ministry is described as providing resources and publications that are Bible-based and gospel-centred, and Bryntirion Press is the publishing brand through which much of this output is issued. A distinct Welsh-language branch, Gwasg Bryntirion, operates as the Welsh language arm of Bryntirion Press. It publishes original Welsh-language Christian books and Welsh translations of English-language materials. Recent publications listed by the press include Y Beibl Canllaw (a Welsh study Bible), Bara'r Bywyd Lefiticus (the final devotional book in a series), Llewyrch i'm Llwybr (a Welsh-language calendar with verses for each day), and Geiriau Bywyd (a collection of clear and simple explanations of the meaning and significance of over 50 Biblical words and phrases, together with a reading, two hymns and a prayer associated with each word and phrase). The press also produces courses and evangelistic booklets, including Darganfod Cristnogaeth (a Welsh translation of Christianity Explored) and Holi, a Welsh-language evangelistic magazine. Bryntirion Press thus continues the EMW's long-standing commitment to Welsh-language and English-language Christian publishing, serving churches and Christians in Wales with study materials, devotionals, evangelistic resources and periodicals. The press remains active as part of the EMW's wider ministry of conferences, youth camps, evangelism, prayer and leadership support.
