"In the beginning was the song of love."

In this timeless poetic reimagining of the gospel story, Calvin Miller tells the story of a Singer whose song could not be silenced. Since it was first published in 1975, The Singer has helped thousands of readers discover the life of Christ in a fresh way.

The Singer, this first book in Miller's beloved trilogy, quickly became a favorite of pastors, artists, students, teachers, evangelists, and readers of all sorts when it was originally published in 1975. This book has left an indelible impression on Christian literature and offered believers and seekers the world over a deeply personal encounter with the gospel.

"Some publishers tell you what to believe. Other publishers tell you what you already believe. But InterVarsity Press helps you believe."

J. I. Packer

The history of evangelicalism cannot be understood apart from the authors and books that shaped it. Over the past century, leading figures such as pastor-scholar John Stott, apologist James W. Sire, evangelist Rebecca Manley Pippert and spiritual formation writer Eugene Peterson helped generations of readers to think more biblically and engage the world around them. For many who take their Christianity seriously, books that equip them for a life of faith have frequently come from one influential publisher: InterVarsity Press.

Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll provide a narrative history of InterVarsity Press, from its origins as the literature division of a campus ministry to its place as a prominent Christian publishing house. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, people, and events that made IVP what it is today. Recording good times and bad, celebrations and challenges, they place IVP in its historical context and demonstrate its contribution to the academy, church and world.

In honor of IVP's seventy-fifth anniversary, senior editor Al Hsu has updated this edition with new content, bringing the story up to 2022 and including stories about contemporary authors such as Esau McCaulley and Tish Harrison Warren. As IVP continues to adapt to changes in publishing and the global context, the mission of publishing thoughtful Christian books has not changed. IVP stands as a model of integrative Christianity for the whole person-heart, soul, mind and strength.
