Rachael Lawrence

As associate publisher for Judson Press, the Rev. Dr. Rachael Lawrence works with the Rev. Dr. Cheryl Price, publisher, to identify and highlight works that are highly relevant to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the faithful, as well as for those who are seeking. Together, they are strategizing to move Judson Press forward into its next 200 years of publishing ministry. “We seek to engage in some of the important, challenging questions of our day in ways that engage a diverse and changing readership,” Lawrence says.

She welcomes this new opportunity to support the publisher’s work of bringing excellent, timely, and thought-provoking materials to the broader church community.

“As ministry changes and adapts to meet the demands of our dynamic world,” she notes, “the printed word remains as vital to supporting the work of the faithful as ever.”

Lawrence has served as senior editor of Judson Press and continues to serve in this capacity in addition to the new duties. As an editor, she seeks to ensure that engaging ideas are expressed clearly and presented professionally. “In the publishing ministry, we have a responsibility to help authors share their ideas with clarity. We also need to be responsive to the needs of the church and community as they seek spiritual sustenance through the printed word,” she says.
