Tom Creedy is taking up a new role as Publishing Director at IVP. Evangelical publisher IVP counts Amy Orr-Ewing, John Stott and Tim Chester among its authors, and says it is ‘committed to producing books that are faithful to the Bible, share the gospel with the world, and equip the church for mission and discipleship’.
IVP also produces books for an academic audience under its Apollos imprint, and has a global impact and reach through worldwide distribution licensing and partnerships.
Sue Halliday, Chair of the IVP Publishing Board, said: ‘It has been a pleasure to get to know Tom over a number of roles and see him develop into a significant leadership role for IVP. He is passionate and thoughtful and cares about the wider mission of IVP, which he is now equipped to hold humbly and boldly. His appointment marks a renewed determination to share UK insight into the larger American market for sound evangelical books; we have new series forthcoming, drawing together global authors and editors, and it enables a strong presence within the SPCK Group for books that focus on being both culturally insightful and faithful to the Bible. As a member of the IVP Board his new post will enable him to play a significant gatekeeping role for the IVP charity within the wider SPCK Group.’
