One of the great cries of the Protestant Reformation was "Soli Deo Gloria," which is Latin for "Glory to God Alone." Only when God is glorified can people find their sense of purpose, worth, and fulfillment. For that reason, Soli Deo Gloria Publications (SDG) focuses on theology proper--the character of God.
SDG seeks to deepen and strengthen the individual's walk with Christ through the rich heritage of those who have gone before us, and who have "fought the good fight and finished the race." By bringing back into print teaching that has stood the test of time, we are seeking to assist God's people in their quest for personal holiness and conformity to the image of Christ.
For the past few years, Soli Deo Gloria books have been produced by Ligonier Ministries in Orlando, Florida. In 2007, Ligonier asked Reformation Heritage Books for guidance on managing Soli Deo Gloria Publications and later invited Reformation Heritage Books to publish and distribute the Soli Deo Gloria titles. Plans are under way to publish numerous additional Puritan titles. Reformation Heritage Books has agreed to continue publishing a select number of titles under the Soli Deo Gloria imprint, which Ligonier will continue to advertise in its catalogs; meanwhile, most Soli Deo Gloria titles will now be reprinted with the Reformation Heritage Books imprint. Reformation Heritage Books and Ligonier Ministries look forward to collaborating in order to promote Puritan literature around the world.
Publications
Since SDG began publishing the Puritans in late 1988, over 300 titles have been printed and over 750,000 volumes have been sold. Their emphasis has always been the writings of the English and American Puritans, but works have also been published by noted 18th and 19th century writers, as well as the late Dr. John H. Gerstner, and compilations from John MacArthur, R. C. Sproul, Michael Horton, and others.
