Logos Publications, is religious book publishing house owned and administered by the members of the Society of the Divine Word as one of their media outfit to assist them in their religious work of spreading the Word of God through modern channels. It began its operation mainly as a print media outlet for the members of the religious group. When it later expanded, it also accepted to carry the works of non-member authors.
The publication company traces its roots from the commercial success of the pre-war Catholic Trade School of Manila as the main printing house of the area and a reliable publisher of many catholic materials needed by the growing Christian population.
