That’s almost an understatement. The Random House-Multnomah deal is only one of a spate of purchases, mergers and new imprints focused on religion to have emerged within the publishing world in recent years. The trend got off the ground in 1988 with HarperCollins’ purchase of Zondervan and accelerated with Random House’s creation of Waterbrook Press, Time-Warner’s launching of Warner Faith (now FaithWords, an imprint of Hachette Book Group USA), Simon and Schuster’s purchase of Howard Books in 2006 and the launch later this year of the Penguin Praise line, not to mention Baker Publishing Group’s purchase of rival Bethany House in 2002, and other recent consolidations among traditional religious publishers.
