GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. November 17, 2025 — Zondervan, part of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, today announced that the NIV Study Bible has surpassed 10 million copies sold worldwide, a historic milestone for one of the most trusted and widely used study Bibles in publishing history.

This milestone comes on the heels of another celebration—the 40th year of the NIV Study Bible in print. First introduced by Zondervan in September of 1985, the NIV Study Bible launched the modern study Bible movement by pioneering a new approach to biblical scholarship. It was among the first study Bibles to emphasize exegetical notes that explain what the text means, rather than purely theological commentary, making deep biblical scholarship accessible to everyday readers. For 40 years, it has been continuously revised and updated to remain current with the latest archaeological discoveries and biblical scholarship, serving as an indispensable resource for pastors, students, families, and anyone seeking to better understand and apply Scripture.

The milestone carries significance beyond sales figures. Each NIV Study Bible sold contributes to funding Bible translation work worldwide. Through Zondervan’s partnership with Biblica, a portion of the proceeds from all NIV Bible sales supports translation efforts for the billion people speaking 3,500+ heart languages still waiting for the Bible. Biblica is committed to translating and freely releasing God’s Word for all people groups who want to learn more about the God of the Bible.

“Reaching 10 million copies is not just a numbers milestone; it demonstrates that regardless of the age or background of anyone turning or returning to the Bible, the foundational trust in this translation doesn’t change. Our study Bibles have impacted generations for 40 years and will continue to do so for decades to come,” said Melinda Bouma, VP, Associate Group Publisher for Bibles at Zondervan.

The enduring success of the NIV Study Bible reflects the dedication of the international biblical scholars who have contributed to the resource across multiple revisions over four decades. The study notes were developed by a team of scholars serving on the Committee on Bible Translation, responsible for the translation and oversight of the NIV, ensuring continuity with the biblical text for both academic and general readers. This collaborative approach has enabled the NIV Study Bible to be updated with new discoveries while maintaining doctrinal balance and scholarly integrity.

Dr. Kenneth L. Barker, member of the NIV Study Bible editorial committee since 1978 and General Editor of the NIV Study Bible since 1980, commented, “I am grateful for the opportunity I was given nearly 50 years ago to create this incredible resource. I’m amazed and humbled that it has sold more than 10 million copies, and I give all glory to God and my deepest gratitude to the associate editors for all their help and insights over these forty years.”

The NIV Study Bible features more than 20,000 study notes, along with full-color maps, charts, archaeological insights, and comprehensive cross-references. The most recent edition, the 2020 Fully Revised Edition, introduced significant updates to ensure the resource reflects current scholarship and remains relevant for today’s readers. General Editor Dr. Kenneth L. Barker and Associate Editors Dr. Mark Strauss, Dr. Craig Blomberg, Dr. Jeannine Brown, and Dr. Michael Williams led this comprehensive revision, incorporating the latest archaeological discoveries and contemporary biblical research while preserving the accessible approach that has made it trusted by millions.

The NIV Study Bible is available in various bindings and formats, including hardcover, Leathersoft™, genuine leather, and digital editions. You’ll find it wherever books and Bibles are sold. Learn more at thenivstudybible.com.

In this video study, the Gregoires take the concepts explored in The Marriage You Want from the page into relationships. With refreshing honesty and enthusiasm, the authors help couples discover how to

• show up fully for their marriage

HippoBooks, the African imprint of Langham Publishing, and Zondervan Academic, an imprint of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, are pleased to announce the release of the second edition of the Africa Bible Commentary — a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible, produced by African scholars, now extensively revised and updated to address today’s most pressing theological and cultural realities across the continent.

First published in 2006, the Africa Bible Commentary (ABC) was the first one-volume commentary on the entire Bible written by African scholars to meet the needs of African pastors, students, and lay leaders. With more than 70 contributors and now translated into six other languages, it has been a vital resource for hundreds of thousands of pastors and church leaders across the continent and around the world.

Nearly two decades later, the second edition brings together over one hundred scholars from across Africa and raises the bar set by its predecessor, shining powerful and relevant insights into the biblical text.

“This second edition of the Africa Bible Commentary features new and compelling contextual articles that address the urgent and pertinent challenges confronting Africa today. The commentary is intended for all individuals engaged in Bible teaching at all levels within the local church and beyond, including pastors, lay leaders, students, Sunday school teachers, youth workers, chaplains, and believers striving to meaningfully interact with Scripture in their daily lives.”
— Nathan Chiroma, Articles Editor of the Africa Bible Commentary, Second Edition

With new and extensively revised commentaries across the Old and New Testament, in addition to over 120 articles, this revised and updated edition reflects on some of the most pertinent issues facing Christians in Africa today. 

“Africa has changed massively in the past twenty years. Technology and the internet is even more accessible and more affordable, social media is part of our daily lives, and same-sex relationships and the discussion on such things is less taboo. The Covid-19 pandemic shook the world and highlighted the fragility of human life, terrorist attacks are more frequent and religious extremism is on the increase. Despite this, and amid conflicts and political unrest that forces migration, the church in Africa continues to grow and with it so do its challenges. The second edition of the ABC builds on the first one even as it addresses old and current issues in depth.”
— Yacouba Sanon, General Editor & Old Testament Editor of the Africa Bible Commentary, Second Edition

There is a global need for biblical teaching that is grounded in the true and written word of God, and the authors of the revised and updated Africa Bible Commentary expertly weave biblical interpretation with a contextual understanding of African realities. Containing thorough exegesis and explanations of the whole Bible as seen through the eyes of African scholars, this bold and faithful commentary will equip pastors and teachers across the continent, along with Christians in every culture who have much to learn from them.

“When we were discussing what this revised and updated version should accomplish, we recognized the need to expose the users of this commentary to three worlds: the world behind the text, the world of the text, and the world in front of the text… The revised and updated ABC shows a greater sensitivity to issues that surround women, children, and youth, such as patriarchy, harmful traditional religious practices, marginalization, gender and age inequalities, and the influence of technology. I believe that these fresh perspectives add more value to the revised and updated ABC.”
— Elizabeth Mburu, New Testament Editor of the Africa Bible Commentary, Second Edition

The church of the future is being shaped on the African continent. With this commentary, African scholars speak not only to the church in Africa, but also to the wider body of Christ across cultures and regions.

The Africa Bible Commentary, Second Edition is now available globally in print and digital formats. This volume is published in Africa by HippoBooks and distributed there and in international markets outside of North America by Langham Publishing. In North America and international markets outside of Africa, this volume is published by Zondervan Academic, an imprint of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.

The award-winning devotional Bible pairs The Message^® translation with insightful content written by women for women

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (November 14, 2025) — The Message Women’s Devotional Bible (NavPress, Tyndale House Publishers) received a Top Shelf Book Cover Award at this year’s Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Publishing University on October 31, 2025. Designed by Eva M. Winters, the devotional Bible’s cover and interior feature earth tones, organic textures, and other elements that bring “a sense of calm and warmth” and “add to the holistic experience of interacting with this Bible,” as one judge commented. The annual awards program was created by the ECPA “to promote and recognize outstanding book cover design in the Christian publishing industry.”

Released in August 2025 after a careful editorial and production process spanning nearly five years, The Message Women’s Devotional Bible pairs Eugene H. Peterson’s ECPA-award-winning translation of the Bible with 320 topical devotions, 52 biblical character profiles, and other supplemental content written by women for women. More than 80 contributors of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, vocations, and Christian denominations wrote content for this expansive project.

“The features in this Bible are what rose to the surface when our team asked, What do women really need in a devotional Bible?” shares Olivia Eldredge, editor of The Message^® Bible. “Women need to hear from other women: diverse, trustworthy, thoughtful voices who can speak to how the Bible intersects with the lives of women. And they need to have space to bring their questions, their vulnerability, their honest wrestling — and be met by God.”

While Christian content marketed specifically to women can tend toward superficiality and stereotypes, The Message Women’s Devotional Bible pursues nuance, sensitivity, and authenticity while remaining faithful to the biblical texts. Throughout, it invites women to engage deeply with difficult or overlooked passages, offering candid reflections on the truth that women — though often unnamed in Scripture — are indeed active, vital participants in God’s story, both in the biblical narrative and today.

The Message is a contemporary translation of the Bible, created by Eugene H. Peterson and thoroughly reviewed by a team of Old and New Testament scholars to ensure accuracy and fidelity to the original biblical languages. A pastor, theologian, scholar, writer, and poet, Peterson worked directly from the Greek and Hebrew texts to craft a faithful rendering of Scripture in accessible, everyday language. It took him a full decade to complete his translation work.

Carol Stream, IL (November 17, 2025) – Tyndale House Publishers is thrilled to announce that they have been honored with three Christy Awards, including the Christy Book of the Year®. The Christy Award® celebrates excellence in the art of Christian fiction and recognize the power of faith in storytelling.

All We Thought We Knew, by Michelle Shocklee, received both The Christy Award in the Historical category and the top honor, Book of the Year, while Jamie Ogle’s As Sure as the Sea received The Christy Award in the Historical Romance category.

“We are so thrilled to see Michelle Shocklee’s and Jamie Ogle’s works recognized as a part of this year’s Christy Awards, and we are honored to publish their novels,” said Elizabeth Jackson, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Tyndale.

“Jamie and Michelle are both talented writers who bring a wonderful depth of historical research and memorable characters to life in their stories,” Jackson continued. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Michelle and Jamie!”

In All We Thought We Knew, Shocklee delivers a compelling dual-timeline novel following two women a generation apart as they discover enduring hope amid tragedy—one in the challenging days of World War II, the other in the tumult of the Vietnam era. In 1969, Mattie Taylor returns home after her twin brother’s death in Vietnam, only to uncover long-buried family secrets hidden in a trunk of letters. In 1942, Ava Delaney, grieving her husband’s death at Pearl Harbor, takes a job at a Tennessee military base and befriends a German internee whose compassion challenges everything she believes. As their stories intertwine, both women must confront what they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and the truth that can heal generations.

Inspired by the legend of St. Nicholas, Ogle’s As Sure as the Sea transports readers to the Eastern Roman Empire in AD 310, where faith, persecution, and redemption collide. Demitria, a young woman haunted by shame and fear, risks her life to help fellow believers living in the shadow of Emperor Diocletian’s brutal rule. When her brother is injured, she crosses paths with Nikolas—a man burdened by his own past.
