Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd. (SPP) is an independent academic printing house specializing in biblical studies and religious studies. Based in the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield, it was launched in January 2004, taking the place of the former Sheffield Academic Press.
According to its website, the house is managed by academics for academics rather than to maximize profits. Its three main series include Hebrew Bible Monographs, New Testament Monographs and Bible in the Modern World. The principal publishing team includes David J. A. Clines (Editor of the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew), J. Cheryl Exum (formerly Editor of Biblical Interpretation) and Keith W. Whitelam (Joint Editor of Journal for the Study of the Old Testament).
The Society of Biblical Literature is their North American distributor.
