Scroll Publishing Company

Scroll Publishing Company is an American nonprofit publishing house whose catalog centers on early Christianity, church history, and interpretations of Christian discipleship associated with conservative Anabaptist and Kingdom-oriented Christian communities. The organization was founded in 1988 in Tyler, Texas, and later relocated to Amberson, Pennsylvania. Its current location is described as an office or publishing location rather than a conventional retail bookstore. The company’s publishing focus is historical and theological. Its materials address the development of Christianity and the beliefs and practices of early Christian communities, making the organization distinct from general-interest Christian publishers whose catalogs are primarily devoted to contemporary devotional, inspirational, or commercial fiction titles. Scroll Publishing Company is particularly associated with presenting historical Christian writings to readers who emphasize nonviolence, radical discipleship, separation from worldly power, and the practical implications of the Christian message, although the available reference material does not provide a complete statement of its institutional theology. A notable offering is its distribution of the ten-volume Ante-Nicene Fathers collection, a major English-language compilation of writings by Christian authors who lived before the Council of Nicaea in 325. The set gives readers access to early theological, pastoral, apologetic, and ecclesiastical texts and functions as a central reference-oriented product within the company’s catalog. Scroll also publishes or distributes works by authors including David Bercot, whose writings are associated with early Christian history and the application of early Christian teachings to modern life. In addition to books, the company has sold Christian music in cassette and compact-disc formats. This broader media activity places Scroll within a small religious publishing and distribution niche rather than solely within academic book publishing. Its audience includes conservative Anabaptists and other Christians interested in early church history and the concept of a spiritually present or already inaugurated kingdom of Christ. The available sources do not identify a public parent company, stock-market listing, current executives, annual revenue, or official website. Based on the reference material, Scroll Publishing Company remains an active specialist publisher, but detailed information about its current scale, distribution network, and contemporary catalog is limited.

Scroll Publishing Company was established in 1988 as a nonprofit publishing house in Tyler, Texas. From its beginning, the organization concentrated on Christian historical and theological material, particularly writings and themes connected with the early church. Its nonprofit structure and focused catalog distinguish it from large commercial publishing groups and from church bookstores that primarily resell books produced by other publishers. The company developed a particular relationship with conservative Anabaptist readers and with Christians who describe themselves as Kingdom-minded. In this context, Kingdom-minded Christianity refers to an understanding of the gospel as the announcement that Christ’s sin-conquering kingdom has arrived in a spiritual sense. Scroll’s subject matter therefore combines historical research and source publication with a practical interest in how early Christian teachings may shape contemporary belief and conduct. One of the organization’s most significant publishing or distribution activities has been making the Ante-Nicene Fathers available as a ten-volume set. The collection contains English translations of Christian writings produced before the Council of Nicaea and is widely used by readers studying the formative period of Christian theology and church history. By distributing this type of source material, Scroll has served an audience seeking direct engagement with early Christian texts rather than only modern summaries. The company has also issued or distributed books by David Bercot, a notable author in its catalog. Bercot’s work is associated with the study of early Christianity and with questions about how early Christian beliefs compare with later church traditions. Alongside books, Scroll has sold Christian music in cassette and CD formats, showing that its activity has included religious audio media as well as printed works. Scroll Publishing Company is currently identified with Amberson, Pennsylvania. The reference material specifically notes that there is no book store at that location, indicating that the site should not be treated as a public retail storefront. Publicly available information in the supplied sources does not establish the company’s founder, current leadership, revenue, ownership structure, formal distribution territories, or official website. Its documented identity remains that of a small, specialized nonprofit publisher focused on early Christianity, church history, and related Christian media.
