T&T Clark
Encyclopedia
T&T Clark is a British publishing firm which was founded in Edinburgh in 1821 and which now exists as an imprint of Continuum International Publishing Group
.
The founder was Thomas Clark, who had a Free Church of Scotland background and the company was originally concerned with law and foreign literature. In the 1830s, it began to develop a theology list, taking a progressive Evangelical stance and at times, publishing books that were not likely to make a profit. Its most substantial projects were the English translation of the Ante-Nicene Fathers
and the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics
. These were only viable because of the existence of a large American market; however, in the 1880s the firm got into a dispute with Fleming H Revell, over the American firm's pirating of some of T&T Clark's titles. The Ante-Nicene Library was pirated by New York's Christian Literature Company. However, this did not prevent T&T Clark from doing business with them. In 1965, the company began to publish Concilium, a Roman Catholic journal. In 2003, the three religious academic imprints of Sheffield Academic Press
, Trinity Press International and T&T Clark were united under one imprint.
