Doss Press was founded in 2022 as an independent Coptic Orthodox publishing company to serve Christians of all denominations and in all places.
The Coptic Orthodox Tradition is an ancient storehouse out of which flow new treasures, deeply precious and immeasurable in their beauty and depth. It boasts of early Christian saints, such as St. Antony the Great, St. Athanasius the Apostolic, and St. Cyril the Pillar of Faith, as well as modern-day champions of Orthodoxy, including St. Pope Kyrillos VI, St. Archdeacon Habib Girgis, and His Holiness Pope Shenouda III of blessed memory.
At Doss Press, we are committed to presenting both the ancient and modern richness of Coptic Orthodoxy, providing a platform for thoughtful interconnectedness and intellectual discourse among the believing community, and upholding a high academic standard of published material, for the benefit of all.

Our Story
Having been granted, by God's mercy and grace, the blessing and privilege both of being raised in an authentic Coptic Orthodox Christian home, receiving a thoroughly ecclesial discipleship, and completing formal academic and Coptic Orthodox Seminary training and theological education, we have learned firsthand the importance of knowing and abiding by the teaching of Christ and the Church for our salvation and that of those whom we encounter. To that end, we thought it good to share, through our humble work, the fruit of this teaching and example.
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Colossians 3:17).
We ask you to join us, firstly by your prayers and then by your collaboration, for our common edification and growth in faith and the knowledge of God, to Whom be glory forever. Amen.
