CRIMCA Publishing House promotes quality works in the field of Orthodox theology, Christian spirituality, church history, culture and spiritual heritage.
The publishing house aims to support and valorize the contributions of established authors, as well as those at the beginning of their academic or literary activity.
Priority is given to the publication of original works that stand out for their scientific rigor, clarity of expression and fidelity to the teaching of the Orthodox Church. In the case of academic works, studies and monographs by academics, researchers and doctoral dissertations that demonstrate a high level of originality and scientific consistency are encouraged.
Exceptionally, dissertations or studies resulting from independent research may also be accepted for publication if they demonstrate scientific merit and relevant contributions in the field.
