Current Status and Divisions
BJU Press is the largest book publisher in South Carolina, and more than a million pre-college students around the world use BJU textbooks. The Press music division, SoundForth, produces Christian musical arrangements and recordings in more traditional styles than do most contemporary music sources. The Press also publishes trade books for adults and biographies and fiction for children and young adults, including wholesome books with no specific Christian references. Besides SoundForth music, the imprints of BJU Press are JourneyForth Books and ShowForth Videos. The Press has approximately 2,500 titles in print and operates a distance learning program.
BJU Press "controls every aspect of publication with in-house authors, editors, compositors, computer and board artists, photo editors, page designers and its own presses," and many of the one hundred press authors worked for BJU Press for more than twenty years. In 2009, the chief publication officer, William Apelian, said, "The cornerstone of our philosophy is a Christian world view, call it Bible integration. That's why we have control of the entire process."

Famous quotes containing the words current, status and/or divisions:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“Nothing does more to activate Christian divisions than talk about Christian unity.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
