Bible sales in the United States have soared in the weeks since the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, with more than 2.4 million copies sold in September alone. Data from publishing trackers show that sales rose by roughly 36 per cent compared with the same month last year, marking one of the sharpest spikes in decades for the country's largest religious publishing category.
Major publishers and retailers confirmed a noticeable surge in demand beginning shortly after Kirk's death on 10 September. Bookshops across several states reported that stocks of both standard and devotional editions sold out within days, while online retailers saw an unprecedented wave of first-time buyers. Several publishing houses have reportedly increased print runs to meet continuing demand through the autumn.
