The world's largest Christian content providerWhen Thomas Nelson began to fulfill his callingas a publisher over 200 years ago, his world was in turmoil.  Religious and philosophical divisions were deep. Technology and industrialism were radically changing people's lives. But despite living in a time of great upheaval, Nelson kept his focus on the God of all power and truth.

In many ways, the post-modern society we now live in faces struggles similar to the ones Thomas Nelson endured centuries ago, yet God's truth is still making an incredible impact on the lives of people around the world.

By the grace of God, we have been honored to play a part in that impact, pursuing the call to spread God's Word around the globe.

We are a diverse team of editors, marketers, sales associates, accountants, designers, and countless other employees, working together to improve the lives of customers. We're developing new media and methods to serve the Christian community in all its diversity. Fulfilling with passion a mission "to honor God and serve people."

After more than two centuries of service, we remain faithfully and fearlessly dedicated to following in the footsteps of the godly young bookseller and publisher whose name we proudly bear.
We are Thomas Nelson.

"If the Lord doesn't build the house,
the builders are working for nothing."
Psalm 127:1 New Century Version
