Canon Press is a faith-based publishing company located in Moscow, Idaho. Established in 1988 by Doug Wilson, it began as a literary outreach initiative linked to his Christ Church. The press has produced more than 100 works authored by Wilson and members of his family. Ownership changed hands in 2012, and the business is currently privately held by Aaron Rench and N. D. Wilson.
Two publications from Canon Press, Southern Slavery As It Was (1996) and A Justice Primer (2015), both co-written by Doug Wilson, were withdrawn after substantial portions were found to be unattributed borrowings from other writers.
By 2021, Canon Press attributed its workforce expansion to its stance against identity politics and the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that its employee count had tripled since 2019.
In 2023, the company initiated a nationwide billboard advertising campaign featuring the phrase "Christ is Lord" to support Doug Wilson's book Mere Christendom, which some theologians have identified as advocating Christian nationalism.
In September 2025, Canon Press submitted a $10 million offer to purchase Christianity Today, but the bid was unsuccessful.
