We believe that spirituality and faith are important to all people, of all backgrounds, and that the wisdom of any one culture or tradition can inform and nourish another. All our books are intended to help people – to better understand themselves, to better understand God, faith and religion, and to better understand our relationships with other people. We aim to be creative, sometimes provocative, so our books are most likely to be appreciated by people who like to engage and be challenged. For more information on DLT, go to the <a href="/about-us"><strong>'About Us'</strong></a> page.</p> <p> </p> <p class="faqtitle"><a name="q4"></a>Is DLT a Catholic publisher?</p> <p>DLT is sometimes thought of as a Catholic publisher because we have, historically, published books by a number of high-profile Catholic writers, as well as the Jerusalem Bible and New Jerusalem Bible which are used widely in the Catholic Church. We have also been known for some very good books from Orthodox, Celtic and ‘emergent’ traditions – a rich mix of these books comprises our backlist.</p> <p>Today, our books come from many different worldviews and traditions, but they all share a relish for opening up argument and debate, and a desire to reach people and to learn from them, not to exclude them.</p> <p>The company is owned and run by a team of people from a range of different backgrounds – we are not exclusively ‘Catholic’, ‘Anglican’, ‘liberal’ or ‘conservative’. We prefer not to work under any defining label, and that includes ‘religious’. For more information on DLT, go to the <a href="/about-us"><strong>'About Us'</strong></a> page.</p> <p> </p> <p class="faqtitle"><a name="q5"></a>Is DLT connected to the Longmans publishing group?</p> <p>No, Darton, Longman and Todd is a common-ownership publishing company and has no direct connection with Longman, which is an imprint of the Pearson group. One of the founders of our company, Michael Longman, was a member of the publishing Longman family. He, Tim Darton, John Todd and Liz Russell founded DLT as a brand new, independent company in 1959. For more information on DLT, go to the <a href="/about-us"><strong>'About Us'</strong></a> page.</p> <p> </p> <p class="faqtitle"><a name="q6"></a>Do you offer any resources for reading groups?</p> <p>Many of our books are designed for use as group resources, particularly our <a href="/subjects/lent-books"><strong>Lent</strong></a> titles. If your reading or parish group would like to use a DLT book we would be happy to supply further information or resources, including published reviews, synopsis and content details, and information on the author. We may also be able to pass on your group questions and comments directly to the author.
