The Crossroad Publishing Company is a New York-based publishing house for books on spirituality, religion, and wellness. The company is the American branch of the global, 200-year-old Herder family publishing group, with headquarters in Freiburg, Germany (Verlag Herder) and Barcelona, Spain (Herder Editorial).
In the final decades of the 20th century, Crossroad (and Crossroad/Continuum) offered Christian spirituality authors, including John Michael Talbot, Fr. Thomas Keating, M. Basil Pennington, and Henri Nouwen.
It published books on women and religion, introducing titles such as Holy Saturday by Phyllis Zagano and In Memory of Her by Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and She Who Is, by the Grawemeyer Award recipient Elizabeth Johnson. The company has focused on evangelical trade titles, high-level mysticism and theology titles, and spirituality.
As of 2013[update] Crossroad is currently directed by Dr. Gwendolin Herder. A native of Freiburg im Breisgau, she trained with Herder publishers as a member of the Herder & Herder family.
Among Crossroad’s titles are John Zmirak’s The Bad Catholic’s Guide to Good Living, Everything Belongs by Richard Rohr, and the multi-volume titles on Ignatian Spirituality by Timothy Gallagher. Books by Robert Ellsberg, including All Saints and Blessed among All Women, have won several awards over the years. Frank J. Hanna’s What Your Money Means was featured in the April 2009 edition of Reader’s Digest.
