Announcing the Prophetologion

A companion to our acclaimed small-format Orthodox Gospel and Apostle (Epistle Book), containing all of the liturgical Old Testament readings of the Orthodox Church. Designed for both liturgical and personal use, with the same premium quality and beautiful styling features as our previous titles.

Project Overview

Saint Ignatius Orthodox Press grew out of our Gospel Book project, the incredible reception to which we have been incredibly blessed by.

With the Gospel Book (now in its second printing!), our goal was to publish a book we desired for our own prayer corners: a dignified, beautiful book of the Gospels with a sacred look and feel, which contains a detailed, pan-Orthodox lectionary, well-suited for both church and home use. We continued this with our Epistle Book.

Now we are completing the set with the Prophetologion, the book of liturgical Old Testament readings. As with our other books, it will be dignified and accessible in its translation style, and beautiful in its form and design. All of this contributes to a book which truly looks and feels important, dignified, and holy.

Features

• 5x7.5 inch cloth-bound hardcover with sewn binding — Portable, easily fits in the hand
• Gorgeous foil stamped iconography on the cover — Gives the impression of a sacred text
• Robust, acid-free paper stock — Not super-thin "Bible paper" or cheap photocopy paper
• Replete with tasteful iconography and ornamentation — Enhanced beauty inside and out

• Four ribbon bookmarks — Enough bookmarks for virtually all liturgical possibilities
• Pan-Orthodox Lectionary — Readings for many feasts of local significance
• Abundant supporting material — Prokeimena, Alleluiaria, and more

The Impact

The Gospel Book is in its second printing and the Apostle has been well-received as well. We have heard from donors and buyers who are incredibly touched by the book they received. Here are just a few samples of the five-star reviews we have received:

• Beautiful, powerful, full of grace, the best English translation available... Everything I could want in a Gospel. Glory to God!
• It’s a fitting volume for the life and teachings of our Lord and Savior. The quality binding and four ribbon markers sets it apart from so many others. 
• It is a treasure to have, to read, to use for meditation and to share with others. Thank you very much.
• Lives are being impacted and spirits are being lifted through the words of Our Lord. This is the impact that you, the contributor, will have with the Epistle Book project, as it joins the Gospel Book as a beautiful matching set in homes and churches around the world.
• A sacred book is not something that will be easily tossed aside and forgotten. With a liturgical calendar through the year 2100, and a timeless value that comes with the Holy Scriptures, your contributions will touch lives for a lifetime and many decades to come.
