Wipf and Stock is a publisher in Eugene, Oregon, publishing works in theology, biblical studies, history [2] and philosophy. [3]
Wipf and Stock was established in 1995 following a joint venture between John Wipf of the Archives Bookshop in Pasadena, California, and Jon Stock of Windows Booksellers in Eugene, Oregon. The company publishes new works and reprints under the imprints Wipf & Stock, Cascade Books, [4] Pickwick Publications, Resource Publications, [5] Slant, and Front Porch Republic Books. Cascade Books is aimed at the general public, whereas Pickwick Publications caters to academics. [6]
The publishing focus of Wipf & Stock is broad, with books in biblical studies, theology, ethics, church history, linguistics, history, classics, philosophy, preaching, and church ministry.
Wipf and Stock has consolidated the publication process so that every aspect of production, from acquisitions and editing, to typesetting, printing, and binding happen in one location. It also employs short-run production methods. According to Wipf and Stock, this allows it to accept titles based on merit rather than on projected sales. [7]
Wipf and Stock publishes Sehnsucht: a Journal on the Works of C. S. Lewis, first published in 2007. [8] It is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of C. S. Lewis and his writings. [4]
They also publish the Journal of Latin American Theology, [9] [10] Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies and Kesher: A Journal of Messianic Judaism. [11]
In 2022, the Cascade imprint of Wipf and Stock retracted the book Bad and Boujee: Toward a Trap Feminist Theology. The book was retired following complaints raised on social media. [12] Cascade apologized for the publication, lamenting the "inappropriateness of a White theologian writing about the experience of Black women." [13] [14]

African theology is Christian theology from the perspective of the African cultural context. It should be distinguished from black theology, which originated from the American and South African context and is more closely aligned with liberation theology. Although there are ancient Christian traditions on the African continent, during the modern period Christianity in Africa was significantly influenced by western forms of Christianity brought about by European colonization.
