History
The firm was founded in 1821 by Thomas Clark,[2] then aged 22 and who had a Free Church of Scotland background. The company was originally concerned with law and foreign literature and published under the name of "Thomas Clark".
He was joined in a partnership in 1846 by his nephew, also named Thomas Clark.[2] With the arrival of younger Thomas Clark (1823-1900) the firm began issuing works under the name of "T. & T. Clark".[3]
In the 1830s, it began to develop a theology list, taking a progressive evangelical stance and at times, publishing books that were not likely to make a profit. It published work by scholars in both Europe and North America.[2] Its most substantial projects were the English translation of the Ante-Nicene Fathers (which the firm titled Ante-Nicene Christian Library) and the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics. These were only viable because of the existence of a large American market; however, in the 1880s the firm got into a dispute with the Fleming H. Revell Company, over the American firm's copyright violation of some of T&T Clark's titles. The Ante-Nicene Library was bootlegged by the Christian Literature Publishing Company, based in New York City, New York. However, this did not prevent T&T Clark from doing business with them.[4]
In 1965, the company began to publish Concilium, an academic journal of Roman Catholic theology.
In 2003, the three religious academic imprints of Sheffield Academic Press, Trinity Press International and T&T Clark were all acquired by the Continuum International Publishing Group,[2] which itself was acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing in 2011.
