Verlag Der Strom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verlag Der Strom (The Stream Publishers) is a Christian publisher located in Stuttgart, Germany. The company's main objective is the distribution of the writings of Watchman Nee and John So within Europe.
Books, including the publisher's own translation of the New Testament, are mainly printed in German, with a limited number of titles also made available in Arabic, Greek, Polish, English, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Czech, and Hungarian. French translations are published with the cooperation of Le Fleuve de Vie (Neuchatel, Switzerland), and in Italian by Il Fiume di Vita (Bolzano, Italy).
The group was originally organized as a subsidiary of Living Stream Ministry, in order to facilitate the publication of the writings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee in Europe. However, most of the local churches in Europe (i.e. - those churches organized around the teachings of Witness Lee), including the main one in Stuttgart, disassociated themselves from Witness Lee and the Living Stream Ministry in a letter dated September 17, 1989.
Since then, the company has continued to publish the writings of Watchman Nee, and begun the publication of books by John So, formerly one of Witness Lee's younger colleagues.
