Who is Newrome Press?
NEWROME PRESS was founded in 2008 as an independent Orthodox Christian publisher by Rev. Protopresbyter Michael Monos. The offices and fulfillment center are located in Columbia, Missouri, USA. Newrome Press does not represent any Orthodox jurisdiction, but seeks to serve the spiritual needs of all Orthodox Christians from all backgrounds. All Newrome Press authors are Orthodox Christians, and are members of canonical jurisdictions.
Why NEWROME?
The name of the press, stylized as NEWROME [single word], refers to the city of Constantinople, which was called New Rome (in Greek Νέα Ῥώμη) by Saint Constantine the Great.
The name was chosen for two reasons: a) in honor of the founder's paternal ancestors who were from Asia Minor, and specifically, the city of Constantinopole; b) in honor of that once great See of Constantinople, and her hierarchs and personages who were stalwart defenders of the holy Orthodox faith, including Saint John Chrysostom, Saint. Gregory the Theologian, Saint Theodore the Studite, Saint Photios the Great, and Saint Symeon the New Theologian.
Our logo features a double headed eagle gripping an open book in its talons with the letters N P [Newrome Press] on the front and back covers.
The double headed eagle was first adopted as an imperial symbol in the 11th c. Today, it generally refers to Orthodoxy and is used throughout the world by various patriarchal and autocephalous Churches.
