Saint Benedict Press, LLC is a Catholic publisher founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2006, now operating in Gastonia. It is a division of Goodwill Publishers.

History

The Saint Benedict Press Classics line began in 2006, starting with public domain classic Catholic titles as a direct competitor against TAN Books and Publishers. The Catechism of the Council of Trent, The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ four volume set, Come Rack, Come Rope, Dark Night of the Soul, Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena, Way of Divine Life and the Rule of Saint Benedict were among the first titles produced. In addition to the public domain titles, SBP published four versions of the New American Bible. In 2008, SBP acquired TAN Books out of bankruptcy. In July 2009, TAN relocated from Rockford, Illinois, to a new facility in Charlotte. Although wholly owned by SBP, TAN is marketed as a sister publisher to SBP, with its own line of imprints. Since the acquisition of TAN Books and its catalog of classic titles, Saint Benedict Press has focused a significant portion of its own imprint's product line on books written by living authors. Critics from different philosophies have given positive responses to the new works. The progressive Catholic publication National Catholic Reporter said the book The Abbess of Andalusia provided insight to Flannery O'Connor's Catholicism. National Review gave positive reviews to both The Essential Belloc (co-edited by the Opus Dei priest C. John McCloskey) and The Mystery of Predestination by apologist John Salza. Inside Catholic discussed the evidence of Purgatory presented in the book Hungry Souls.
