PUBLISHING
The need
From the beginning, Aurora Mission has felt that there is a great need for Italian church leaders to have more sermon preparation materials in their own language. Such books are very scarce in Italy. Publishing, therefore, has proven itself to be a vitally important arm of the Italian Theological Academy. We publish ministry materials for students of the academy as well as for Italian pastors.
Where we are today
By God’s grace, we have published over fifteen books in the last five years, including five of John MacArthur’s New Testament commentaries. (We intend to publish the whole series.) The MacArthur Study Bible, in Italian, was finished with the help of many, and given to all of those who attended FOCUS 2007. It is also now available in Italy for all who desire to have a better understanding of God’s Word. Thank you to all who have helped make this possible!
