Welcome to Abingdon Press, the first name in religious publishing! Long before Abingdon Press launched its online identity, it was well-established in the religious publishing world as an imprint of The United Methodist Publishing House, in operation since 1789. In the early 1920s, Abingdon began publishing a wide array of high-caliber academic, professional, inspirational, and life-affirming religious literature to enrich church communities across the globe. Now beginning its ninth decade, Abingdon Press has a commitment to providing the best, most effective religious publications available.
