The Lausanne Movement, founded by Billy Graham, has established a publishing imprint. The Lausanne Library will be used for core titles which relate to the life and ministry of the movement, which seeks to unite evangelicals to collaborate for world evangelization.

The library started with the publication of Cape Town Commitment Study Edition by Rose Dowsett and Christ Our Reconciler, the formal record of the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization, held in Cape Town, South Africa in October 2010.

"Christ our Reconciler is a critical book for strategists in the church," explained Julia Cameron, the book's editor who serves as Lausanne's director of publishing. "It gives voice to some of the sharpest thinking the evangelical church has to offer on critical issues facing our generation."

Christ Our Reconciler's contributors include Billy Graham, John Stott, Os Guinness and Tim Keller. Cameron described The Cape Town Commitment Study Edition as "intelligent, theological with searching application questions."

The decision to start a publishing imprint represents the Lausanne Movement's goal to serve the church by providing seminal thinking for mission leaders, pastors, reflective practitioners in the public arenas, students and educators. Lausanne's book publishing will complement the material available on the movement's website.
