FAQs

Newrome Press, founded in 2008, is an independent Orthodox Christian publisher located in Columbia, Missouri.

Newrome Press does not represent, nor is it officially affiliated, with any Orthodox jurisdiction.

All Newrome Press authors are Orthodox Christians, and are members of canonical jurisdictions.

The name of the press, stylized as NEWROME [single word], refers to the city of Constantinople, which was called New Rome (in Greek Νέα Ῥώμη) by St. Constantine the Great.

The name was chosen for two reasons: a) in honor of the founder's paternal ancestors who were from Asia Minor, and specifically, the city of Constantinopole; b) in honor of the once great See of Constantinople, and her hierarchs and personages who were stalwart defenders of the holy Orthodox faith, including St. John Chrysostom, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Theodore the Studite, St. Photios the Great, and St. Symeon the New Theologian.

Our logo features a double headed eagle gripping an open book in its talons with the letters N P [Newrome Press] on the front and back covers.
