Bible Sales Surge In Britain As Young Generation Rediscovers Faith

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief

(Worthy News) – 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.

Surveys suggest the shift is especially strong among young adults. A YouGov tracker found belief in God among 18- to 24-year-olds nearly tripled from 16 percent in 2021 to 45 percent in 2025. Among those aged 25 to 49, belief rose from 21 percent to 33 percent.

Church attendance has also increased. Separate YouGov surveys show a 56 percent rise in adults attending church at least once a month, with regular attendance growing from eight percent in 2018 to 12 percent in 2024.

Publishing analysts say the surge in Bible sales stands out even as the broader non-fiction book market declined.
