Theology, advocacy, healing, and liberation—all in one place.
Resources for pastors, chaplains, activists, organizers, communicators, coaches, consultants, and anyone building a more just world. We publish what you need to preach prophetically, organize strategically, heal communally, and lead from the margins.
What Riley Press publishes—and why
We create digital resources that connect rigorous scholarship with the daily work of justice. Our catalog spans eight lanes:
Theology & Scholarship → Academic rigor meets prophetic urgency
Preaching & Worship → Sermons and liturgies that confront empire
Pastoral Care & Counseling → Ministry rooted in liberation, not respectability
Faith & Politics → Where the gospel meets the public square
Spirituality & Formation → Practices that sustain resistance
Communications & Advocacy → Strategic messaging for justice movements
Life Coaching & Personal Development → Growth that doesn't ignore systemic harm
Trauma & Healing → Recovery rooted in collective liberation
Every resource is rooted in Black liberation theology, womanist theology, and queer theology—traditions that refuse to separate personal transformation from collective justice.
We write for seminary students and seasoned pastors, for chaplains on the front lines and activists in the streets, for communications professionals and life coaches, for trauma survivors and movement organizers. For anyone who needs theological resources that don't sanitize suffering, domesticate the prophets, or pretend systemic issues are personal problems.
If your version of Christianity isn't good news to the poor, the queer, the Black, the imprisoned, and the traumatized, it's not the gospel Jesus preached. We publish the kind of work that is.
