Hendrickson Publishers

What Hendrickson Publishers does

Hendrickson Publishers is a specialty academic imprint that operates as a division of Tyndale House Publishers (legally Tyndale House Ministries), headquartered at 351 Executive Drive, Carol Stream, Illinois. The imprint produces scholarly books, Bibles, reference materials, and language resources organized into four product categories: Biblical Studies (Old Testament, New Testament, primary sources, facsimiles, manuscripts, historical Bibles, textbooks, and Carta Jerusalem materials), Biblical Reference (concordances, dictionaries, lexicons, commentaries, and general reference), Biblical Languages (Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, and German Bible Society titles), and Christian Thought (theology, church history, Christian engagement, and preaching). The catalog is sold across softcover, hardcover, and eBook formats at one-time perpetual pricing typically ranging from $19.95 to $89.95 per title.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (hendricksonpublishers.com) supplemented by an academic review-copy program for educators, a bulk-purchasing channel for churches and institutions, and a domestic 'Buy Local' retail locator program. Marketing is conducted through an email signup offering a 20%-off first-purchase incentive, organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), and a downloadable 2025–2026 digital catalog. Distribution agreements with the German Bible Society and Carta Jerusalem extend the scholarly and archaeological content pipeline without internal production overhead.

Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of published books, Bibles, and reference works across three customer segments: academic/educational institutions (primary — seminaries and biblical-studies programs), churches and clergy (sermon preparation and teaching), and individual consumers (personal study). The company employs 11–50 people, is privately held, has no external funding or public-company status, and within the source data shows no current M&A, leadership, or restructuring activity — the most notable recent product action being the 2026 release of the Greek New Testament (UBS6) Sixth Revised Edition in collaboration with the United Bible Societies.
