Michael McEwen has been tapped to lead the Academic division of B&H Books, an arm of Lifeway, one of the nation’s largest evangelical publishers. McEwen will take over for Madison Trammel, who left B&H in February to head up Penguin Random House’s new Christian Publishing Group.
McEwen will leave his former role at acquisitions and project editor at B&H Academic. Prior to Lifeway, McEwen wrote for Southern Baptist outlets and taught at several colleges, including the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he received a PhD in 2018.
Affiliated with the Southern Baptist Church, B&H Academic publishes titles on scripture and the modern world that are marketed toward theology students and church leaders. B&H Publisher Devin Maddox lauded McEwen’s commitment to Lifeway’s Baptist alignment, as well as its mission to “[steward] an important role in broader evangelicalism.”
