Marshall Pickering

Marshall Pickering was formed in 1981 from two long established Christian publishers. Marshall Morgan and Scott, a London-based predominantly Baptist publishing house, which had acquired a number of publishing companies over the years, such as Bagsters (Bible publishers since 1794) and Oliphants. Pickering and Inglis was a long established Glasgow based publisher, publishing largely for the non conformist church in Scotland with many Brethren publications. Marshall Pickering was acquired by Zondervan in 1983.[1]

Zondervan was bought by Harper & Row in 1988. In 1989, Collins was bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, and the publisher was combined with Harper & Row, which NewsCorp had acquired two years earlier, to form HarperCollins. Marshall Pickering was merged into Zondervan in 2001.[2]
