[2] Originally set up in 1983 as a faith-based book ministry by a married couple of Stanmore Baptist Church[3] to sell Banner of Truth literature,[4] Reformers expanded its range over the years and in 2007 became a Reformed Baptist/Presbyterian joint venture[5] in partnership with the Theological Education Committee[6] of, and (from July 2009) the Trustees[7] of, the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales.

[8] Its stated goal is to make available the best in historic and contemporary Christian literature,[9] and its range reflects the theological stance of its various joint venture partners i.e. evangelical, Reformed and conservative i.e. with a high view of the Bible as the ultimate authority in all things of which it speaks.

[11] In contrast with the multi-store approach of Koorong, Reformers appears to have adopted a single-distribution-centre-cum-internet strategy for sales and order fulfilment.

Reformers is the sole Australian trade distributor[12] for both The Good Book Company,[13] with its well-known Christianity Explored[14] and Discipleship Explored ranges (by Rico Tice and Barry Cooper), and P&R Publishing.

[15] Reformers is also an Australasian trade distributor or reseller for the imprints of a number of other well-known evangelical and Reformed publishing houses, including Christian Focus,[16] Banner of Truth, Baker Book House, Good News Crossway, Day One,[17] Eerdmans,[18] Evangelical Press,[19] Founders Press,[20] Go Teach,[21] Granted Ministries,[22] Inter-Varsity Press UK, Ligonier Ministries, Matthias Media and Shepherd Press.
