Sales of the Bible in Britian soared to record levels in the last year, according to new research from Christian publisher SPCK Group.

The total sales of UK Bible sales reached £6.3 million, more than doubling in value since 2019. The overall number of physical copies sold has risen by 106 per cent since before the pandemic; the highest rise since records began.

Annual sales climbed from £2.69 million in 2019 to £6.3 million in 2025 - an increase of £3.61 million in just five years. To put this growth in perspective, between 2008 and 2019, annual sales grew by only £277,188.

Between 2024 and 2025 alone, Bible sales surged by 27.7 per cent, in terms of the number of copies sold.

The bestselling Bible translation in 2025 was the English Standard Version (ESV), published by Crossway.

Sam Richardson, CEO of SPCK Group, said: “[The Bible sales] are evidence of a significant cultural shift regarding matters of faith and religion in this country,

2025 saw the first report of a Quiet Revival stirring the UK, and a recent YouGov poll revealed that 49 per cent of 18-to-25 year olds believe in a higher power.

"As we face worldwide political and social change, including the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, global wars, the rise of AI, and a growing mental health crisis, individuals are re-engaging with questions of meaning and spirituality,” Richardson added.  

“The significant and sustained upward trend in Bible sales suggests that more and more people are investigating the Christian faith themselves and seeking to draw their own conclusions about its truth.”
