Gorgias Press: “a remarkable publisher to which all Eastern Christians should be paying close and regular attention"
Adam J. De Ville, the editor of Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies in his review essay titled Eastern Ecclesial Polity: A Review Essay (Logos vol 48 (3-4), 2007 243-65), gave a rave review to our varied and rich selection of Gorgias titles in Eastern Christian studies:
“...a remarkable publisher to which all Eastern Christians should be paying close and regular attention and for which we can be grateful for their many, varied and rich offerings. Based in New Jersey, Gorgias has been putting into print both reissues of older, sometimes ‘classic’ works from Eastern Christian studies as well as new works, including doctoral dissertations in the discipline. Their website (www.gorgiaspress.com) has one of the largest and most interesting collections of books in Eastern Christian studies—and related disciplines—of any publisher in North America today, and this is both commendable and encouraging. What distinguishes Gorgias is their focus not just or even primarily on the Byzantine Orthodox Churches but also inter alia, on the Oriental Orthodox and the Assyrian Church of the East. They have a particular interest in various Syriac and cognate realities.”
