3. SAGE Vision
Believing passionately that engaged scholarship lies at the heart of any
healthy society and that education is intrinsically valuable, SAGE aims to be
the world's leading independent academic publisher. This means playing a
creative role in society by disseminating teaching and research on a global
scale, the cornerstones of which are good, long-term relationships, a focus on
our markets, and an ability to combine quality and innovation.
Leading authors, editors and societies should feel that SAGE is their natural
home: we believe in meeting the range of their needs, and in publishing the
best of their work. We are a growing company, and our success comes from
thinking creatively about our markets and actively responding to the needs of
our customers. We aim to be the envy of our competitors - to be people with
high standards, who care for each other, and above all who take pride in
working at SAGE.

choose SAGE
"SPCK is delighted to be working with SAGE to produce and distribute Theology. We
are very impressed with the professionalism of the SAGE team and are particularly
grateful for their expertise in making the Journal, including the entire back catalogue,
available online – greatly increasing its reach and usefulness."
Joanna Moriarty, Publishing Director, SPCK
"Theology Today recently transitioned to SAGE from another publisher. The Journal
has benefitted enormously from our partnership with SAGE. The professionalism and
responsiveness of every SAGE staff member with whom we have worked has deeply
impressed us at every turn. SAGE’s meticulous support in matters from marketing to
manuscript management to problem solving has been exemplary. As a result of
partnership with SAGE, Theology Today is stronger now than it has ever been before.
We are truly grateful and full of confidence for the future."
Dr Iain Torrance, President of Princeton Theological Seminary
and Dr Gordon Mikoski, Editor of Theology Today
