Canon Press is a Christian publishing house in Moscow, Idaho. It was founded by Doug Wilson in 1988 as a literature ministry of his Christ Church.[2] It has published more than 100 books by Wilson and his family members.[3] Canon Press was sold in 2012 and continues to operate as a private company owned by Aaron Rench and N. D. Wilson.[4]

Two books published by Canon Press were found to contain significant portions of uncited work by other authors and were subsequently retracted and remaindered: Southern Slavery As It Was (1996), co-authored by Doug Wilson and Steve Wilkins[5] and A Justice Primer (2015), co-authored by Doug Wilson and Randy Booth.[6]

In 2021, the company said that its opposition to identity politics and COVID-19 pandemic restrictions allowed its workforce to be "free to work", and that it had tripled in size since 2019.[1]

As a marketing initiative, Canon Press put up billboards across the United States in 2023 with the words "Christ is Lord" in bold white letters on a black background, along with a URL.[7] The campaign was a promotion for Doug Wilson's book Mere Christendom,[8] which one theology professor said promotes Christian nationalism.[9]
