BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Holman Bibles, in partnership with Grace Publications Trust, announced a new Anglicised edition of the Christian Standard Bible (CSB).
The Anglicised Bible was born out of an expressed desire from pastors, distributors and individuals for an English edition in their context within the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. B&H Publishing launched the first of its Anglicised text Bibles, including the CSB Church Bible and the Gospel of John, with plans to add at least three more to the Anglicised portfolio in the coming year.
The Anglicised edition includes British spellings, punctuation, measurements, and other minor updates to phrasing and grammar to provide a clear and easy reading experience for Anglicised British English Bible readers.
“Our hope with the Anglicised Bible is to meet pastors and individuals in their context by making the Bible more easily accessible while still maintaining textual accuracy and integrity,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “We are excited to partner with Grace Publications in creating the Anglicised edition of the CSB along with our global Lifeway distributors with whom we are eager to launch even more editions of Anglicised text Bibles in the coming year.”
Holman Bible Publishers, the oldest publishing imprint in North America, released the CSB translation in 2017, which has gained increased use among pastors and individuals to become the fastest-growing English translation in the market. The CSB translation is the culmination of decades of work from 100+ scholars and 17 denominations to create a translation that aims to combine linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English.
In addition to including a digital reader version of the Anglicised Bible on csbible.uk, the CSB will also be available at several UK events in 2025. For more information about the Anglicised CSB, visit csbible.uk.
