Bible sales in Britain have surged to their highest levels since records began, reflecting a growing spiritual interest across the nation—particularly among younger generations.
According to NielsenIQ BookData, Bible purchases increased by 19 percent last year, reaching their highest level since tracking began in 1998. Christian publisher SPCK Group reported that Bible sales totaled £6.3 million in 2025, more than doubling since 2019.
Sam Richardson, CEO of SPCK Group, said the rise reflects a broader search for meaning during a time of global uncertainty.
“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 said.
