Danish Lutheran Publishing House was the publishing house of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church (ULCA).
The business ran from 1893 to 1960 and was based in Blair, Nebraska.[1] An earlier publication, Kirkelig Samler (Church Gatherer) had been created in 1872 and led to the establishment of the DLPH.[2]
The DLPH published hymn books, devotionals, novels and a Danish newspaper; however, as more customers started using English-language books, the business decided in 1943 to shorten its name to the Lutheran Publishing House.[2]
In 1960, several Lutheran Church bodies merged to form the American Lutheran Church (ALC); at this time, the Danish Lutheran Publishing House merged with the other Lutheran publishing houses to form Augsburg Fortress.[3]
