Editorial Standards
Historical texts and modern editorial work should be clearly distinguished, accurately sourced, and prepared without disguising their origin.
Primary Texts and Editorial Material
Historical Scripture, patristic, conciliar, and theological texts are identified separately from introductions, indexes, summaries, apologetic arguments, formatting, and other modern editorial additions. Theologians Press does not claim authorship of public-domain primary texts.
Translation and Modernization
Where a work is translated or modernized, its page should identify the source text and describe the nature of the work. Modernization aims at readable American English while preserving theological vocabulary, ecclesial terms, argument, and meaning. It should not be represented as a new translation unless the source language was directly translated.
Orthodox Orientation
Editorial introductions and apologetic resources are written from an Eastern Orthodox Christian perspective. Historical texts are not silently altered to force agreement with a later editorial position.
Citations and Sources
Biblical, patristic, and historical claims should be accompanied by references when practical. Source editions, translators, public-domain status, and material external to Theologians Press are identified on the relevant page or in the Sources and Copyright statement.
Corrections
Substantive corrections should be made transparently and without concealing the source of the error. Readers may report concerns through the Corrections Policy.
