About Me

We are a small, independent press publishing books and other materials on topics related to radical Christian discipleship.
We understand radical Christian discipleship literally as a faith that actively and intentionally remembers its roots ("radical" comes from the Latin word "radix" meaning root). Thus, the history of God's people is a primary â€” but not exclusive â€” theme of our press, and particularly the history of the earliest followers of Jesus, as well as that of groups that looked to the earliest Church as a paradigm for Christian community.
Radical Christian discipleship, as we understand it, is characterized by both a socially prophetic, counter-cultural stance â€” embodied by communities committed to following the example of Jesus in the midst of the world's culture of death â€” and a radical re-examination of what it means to be a community of Christ's followers.
In addition to publishing, we also sell new and used books. The new books we sell are generally related to the radical Christian aims of our publishing efforts. Our used books, however, span a wide variety of fields.
Doulos Christou Books is a part of Englewood Christian Church (Indianapolis, IN), and is legally one facet of the non-profit Englewood Community Development Corporation.
