history

After the publishing house was founded in Nürtingen in 2006 , the company moved to Steinhagen in 2010, where it is based today. Due to its specialization in music literature within the Apostolic Faith Communities, the publisher initially gained a lot of fame, but this improved through the acceptance of several composers as contractual partners and the publication of the specialist literature of the Apostolic History Network. Today the publishing house is well established, especially within the New Apostolic Church, and supplies sheet music to music enthusiasts and choir directors in the congregations. In the category of textbooks for church history of the Apostles he takes a leading role and is known among church historians and those interested in history.

Major publications

A short history of the New Apostolic Church

On the occasion of the International Church Congress of the New Apostolic Church in 2014, the publishing house published a book on the history of the New Apostolic Church by Dominik Schmolz at the end of 2013. It was and is the only coherent book on the history of the religious community that was not commissioned by the Church itself. For the first time, it also shows previously unpublished and avoided historical representations. The Evangelical Central Office for Weltanschauung issues emphasized the special importance of this publication

99 easy movements on the New Apostolic Hymnal

To introduce the new German hymn book in the New Apostolic Church, the publishing house published a collection of 99 organ movements for the New Apostolic hymn book compiled by Andreas Ostheimer. As a result of the publication, criticism came from the New Apostolic Church and its in-house publisher Friedrich Bischoff, as the New Apostolic Church wanted to withhold from itself the publication of music notations or their variations. Nevertheless, this product became the publisher's top-selling publication.

End and beginning

The oratorio End and Beginning by Gerhard Kaufmann, a work about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer , is one of the most famous musical works of the Edition Punctum Saliens. Composer Kaufmann wrote the piece, entitled Bonhoeffer Oratorio , in 2006. The piece was premiered in the collegiate church in Tübingen .
