You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==

=== Beginning Years ===
InterVarsity Press began just before [[World War II]] as a small service branch of the [[InterVarsity Christian Fellowship]] campus ministry, which had its beginnings in the 1939-1940 academic year.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=Our History |url=https://www.ivpress.com/about/our-history |access-date=2022-05-24 |website=www.ivpress.com |language=en-US))</ref> At its inception, InterVarsity Press solely imported books from the [[Great Britain]] InterVarsity Christian Fellowship movement for use by college students and InterVarsity chapters in the United States. Its first home-grown publications was a [[Bible study (Christianity)|Bible study]] guide called ''Discovering the Gospel of Mark'', written by an InterVarsity staff member and published in the 1933-1934 academic year. In 1947, a formal publishing program was established; its distribution of books was handled by [[Fleming H. Revell]] until 1960.<ref name=":0" />

=== Move to Chicago ===
In 1960, IVP's editorial offices moved from [[Havertown, Pennsylvania|Havertown]], [[Pennsylvania]] to [[Chicago]], where InterVarsity Christian Fellowship offices were then located. In 1966, offices were moved from Chicago to [[Downers Grove, Illinois|Downers Grove]], approximately 30 miles west.<ref name=":2">((Cite book |last=Le Peau |first=Andrew T. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71809973 |title=Heart, soul, mind, strength : an anecdotal history of InterVarsity Press, 1947-2007 |date=2006 |publisher=IVP Books |others=Linda Doll |isbn=978-0-8308-3369-6 |location=Downers Grove, Ill. |oclc=71809973))</ref>

=== Expansion ===
In 1968 Jim Nyquist became IVP's full-time director and Jim Sire became IVP's first full-time editor. Four other full-time employees filled out the staff. Shortly afterward, IVP began publishing [[Francis Schaeffer]]'s works, beginning IVP's reputation as a publisher of note. In 1965, IVP launched the IVP Book Club and the bookstore Rack program in 1971, solidifying a sales base; these programs continue to be important parts of the publishing program.<ref name=":2" />

In 1984 Linda Doll moved from the editorship of HIS Magazine to the directorship of IVP. The next year LifeGuide Bible Studies were launched; they have now sold over 15 million copies. When Linda Doll decided to return to editing in 1990, Ken DeRuiter was appointed executive director.<ref name=":2" />

In that same year, the award-winning ''Dictionary of Christianity in America'' was released. While IVP had published several reference books created in [[Great Britain]], ''Dictionary of Christianity in America'' was the first reference book published by IVP originating in the United States. In 1994 IVP published their first Bible, ''The NIV Quiet Time Bible''.<ref name=":2" />

=== Recent Years and Present Day ===
In 1979, IVP built a warehouse and distribution center in [[Westmont, Illinois|Westmont]], [[Illinois]]. IVP relocated to new offices constructed adjacent to the distribution center in 1995.<ref name=":0" /> Two years later, following Ken DeRuiter's retirement, Bob Fryling joined IVP as its new director. ''Heart. Soul. Mind. Strength.'' by IVP editors Andy Le Peau and Linda Doll was written in 2006 as an anecdotal history of the publishing company, summarizing leading authors and books that shaped [[evangelicalism]] in the 20th century.<ref name=":2" /> In 2016, after years of leadership as sales and marketing director, Jeff Crosby was named IVP publisher. Terumi Echols was named the president and publisher of IVP in September 2021.
