Back in January 2026, SPCK announced that Bible sales were up 134% since 2019, driven particularly by younger generations exploring Scripture, reflecting a renewed interest in the Bible and Christian faith more broadly. Recent data shows that Bible sales have doubled since 2019, with sales last year in the UK reaching £6.3 million, making it the best year on record. The Bible is trending! Our wide range of Bibles have several things in common: • Our Bibles are designed and produced to a very high standard. They have been shortlisted twice in the British Book Design and Production Awards. • They are all Anglicised so that they have British spelling and grammar. • They have excellent price points offering great value to customers. • Our pew Bible packs offer fantastic value and are available at trade discounts. A brief overview of our Bible translations featured in this catalogue: New Living Translation (NLT) – one of the most widely read and bestselling translations in history. An accessible Bible featuring British text. New Revised Standard Version updated edition (NRSVue) – featuring gender-inclusive language, the NRSVue is the most up-to-date scholarly Bible translation. English Standard Version Catholic Edition (ESV-CE) – the most popular contemporary and readable translation. Approved by the Catholic Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland.

HISTORY OF BIBLE PUBLISHING | SPCK GROUP BIBLE CATALOGUE
OUR HISTORY OF BIBLE PUBLISHING GENERAL For much of our history (which, dating back to 1698, makes us the third oldest publisher in the UK), we have been a Bible publisher, but for a few decades we found ourselves without a Bible licence. That changed in 2014, when Sam Richardson (CEO) joined the SPCK Group. Our first acquisition was the NRSV Bible which we published with great success, followed by the newly updated NRSVue. More recently we've published the NLT, ESV-CE and NIV BST (Bible Speaks Today). We continue to work on exciting new products including an Anglicisation of The Message Bible due in 2029.
CHILDREN'S With Children’s Bible publishing, the status is quite different! For more than 40 years, the SPCK Group has been publishing Bible retellings for children, with sales of these titles in many languages worldwide. One of the first – and still going strong – Bible retellings is The Lion Children’s Bible by Lion Publishing founder Pat Alexander. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, there was an ongoing programme of Children’s Bibles, making the familiar and not so familiar stories from the Old and New Testaments accessible and engaging for all ages. Among these are much-loved editions such as The Lion First Bible, and The Lion Graphic Bible. In the 2000s, Candle Books Bible retellings joined the programme and SPCK Publishing began their Children’s Bible programme from 2015. Each year, the tradition of producing high-quality, beautifully illustrated and faithful retellings has continued. The SPCK Group also now offers Children’s and Youth editions of Bible translations for use in homes, schools and church groups.
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Moving forward, we have exciting plans for these translations in the future. With the opportunities that evolving technology offers, we are dreaming of new ways to present the Bible. All the above translations are available as eBooks.
Our proven track record for Bible products shows that we are a leading Bible publisher with a wide-ranging and evergrowing family of Bibles.
The Sales Department would be delighted to discuss Sales opportunities with you.

SPCK GROUP BIBLE CATALOGUE | NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
BRITISH TEXT
NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) One of the most widely read and bestselling translations in recent history. Arguably the most accessible of the major Bible translations.
The New Living Translation is an authoritative version of Scripture, rendered faithfully into today’s English by an international team of more than 90 leading biblical scholars. The translation conveys the message of the original texts in clear, contemporary language.

Features: - 8.15 pt More Pro font - Two-column layout with generous margins - Lay-flat flexi binding - White paper with printed endpapers - Elegant and readable More Pro typeface - Soft-tone, debossed cover - Head & tail bands - Ribbon marker
