Welcome to Russian Christian Publishing, open since 1992. David Wagler founded RCP after working in Christian literature development for Russia and Eastern Europe with Slavic Gospel Association for 19 years. RCP is now a part-time, family-operated business.
We are a retailer of Christian books in Russian. Our titles come from a number of publishers in various countries and could be characterized as being conservative evangelical in content. While we do have a smattering of books in Ukrainian, Romanian and Georgian, our specialty is Russian.

The generally accepted Bible in Russia is the Synodal version which was translated by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1876. Baptists and other evangelicals generally use the Synodal version as well. While it is a good translation, some of the words are rather archaic and thus unfamiliar to those new to Christianity.
However, on June 1, 2011 the Russian Bible Society released the new translation which they had been preparing for 15 years. This contemporary translation is based on the best copies of the original texts and utilizes recent discoveries in scholarly biblical research.
An impressive array of Hebrew and Russian Bible scholars translated the Old Testament while an editorial commission revised a New Testament translation begun earlier. While in America we readily embrace new translations, it remains to be seen how the Russian church will accept this new work. The full Bible is #506, the NT #511 and Russian/English NT #514.
Several other translations exist for the Russian New Testament. One of the most appreciated is the 1970 Cassian version which replaces many of the archaic words of the Synodal, but still retains much of the same feel. That is used in the Russian NT of our parallel Russian/English #510.

While we generally ship to destinations within the US, occasionally we do get requests to send books internationally. Please keep in mind that costs, shipment time and risk involved may all be much greater than for domestic orders. If you would like your order to be insured, please indicate that. It is also very helpful if you indicate whether your priority is lower costs or quicker arrival. As you help us understand your needs, we are better able to serve you. God bless you!

Bibles & Books in Other Languages
|
|
|
Recently we received a shipment of books in various languages, mostly Eastern European. Those with more titles are listed in the language category below, while those with only a few are included in “Misc.” The quantity available for each title is small and we will not be able to restock any of the titles. As quality varies, lower prices for Bibles, for example, indicate that they are of lower quality.
