Who We Are
We are a husband-and-wife team zealous to further God's glory by reproducing classic Puritan, Reformed, Covenanter, and antiquarian literature.
Joseph is from London, England, and has worked as a language teacher, a private tutor, a press officer, and a transcriptionist. He studied Hebrew modules at college, and has a BA in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Leeds, as well as a teaching certificate from the UK.
Jami is a dedicated housewife and mother-of-two with a love for Puritan and antiquarian works - especially concerning women and the family.
Together they have two young children and four dogs - three of these are Bernese Mountain Dogs!
What We Believe
We hold to the orthodox creeds of the Christian church, namely: the Apostolic, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds. Furthermore, we are full subscriptionists to the Westminster Standards, which we believe represent the height of Christian attainment theologically so far in history. We hold to the five Solas of the Reformation, and to classic Reformed theology as expressed by TULIP, that is: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and the Perseverance of the Saints. We believe in the importance of church attendance alongside personal holiness, family devotion unto the Lord, and the necessity for covenanted Christian nations.
What Sets Us Apart?
Berith Press provides the perfect blend between modern style and antiquarian substance. We edit works for clarity, not to remove whole sections out of books, but simply to make them more understandable. Where possible, we typically retain every footnote that is in the original edition. We seek to retain Latin, Greek, and Hebrew words and characters, so that the academic integrity of the original work is not compromised.

“That rare invention of printing, [in 1440, told] the world of the near approach of that time, when the temple of God should be opened in heaven, and the Bible, which had for so many ages been shut up, be universally spread, and thus made accessible for the poorest boy or maids, having familiar converse therewith.”
— Robert Fleming, The Fulfilling of the Scriptures, 1681
