==History==
Although Bob Jones University published its first trade book, ''A History of Fundamentalism in America'' by George W. Dollar, in 1973, BJU Press originated in the need for textbooks in the burgeoning Christian school movement. Walter Fremont, Dean of the School of Education, was an "enthusiastic supporter," and much of the early academic direction of the Press was provided by the University's provost, Philip D. Smith.〔Daniel L. Turner, ''Standing Without Apology: The History of Bob Jones University'' (Greenville, S.C.: Bob Jones University Press, 1997), 283, 304. ISBN 0-89084-930-7.〕 The Press also published the University's magazine, ''Faith for the Family'' from 1973 until publication was discontinued in 1986.
The first textbook published by BJU Press was ''Physical Science for Christian Schools'' (1974), written by George Mulfinger and Emmet Williams. Initially the Press had planned to publish only a few texts in areas where philosophical disagreement with secular texts was substantial, but shortly the Press developed a full range of K-12 texts and materials. An early decision was that BJU Press would not simply repackage secular texts, as its competitors had done, but would create new books from a Christian viewpoint.〔Turner, 265, 437n. 18.〕
As the home school movement began to grow in the 1980s, the Press decided to begin selling its publications to homeschool families. This marketing strategy proved so successful that by 1988, BJU Press was the largest textbook supplier to homeschool families in the nation.〔Deb Richardson-Moore, "BJU Press Has Quietly Risen to Top in Homeschool Publications," ''Greenville News'', 26 May 1996.〕 It also provides testing, record-keeping and consulting services.〔Dick Hughes, "Books-a-Millions: Bob Jones makes a business of textbooks," ''Greenville Journal'', December 11, 2009, 27.〕
