Religious publishers say President Donald Trump's most recent proposed tariffs on Chinese imports could result in a Bible shortage
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Religious publishers say President Donald Trump's most recent proposed tariffs on Chinese imports could result in a Bible shortage.
The two largest Bible publishers in the United States, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, are owned by HarperCollins, and they incur close to 75% of their Bible manufacturing expenses in China, Schoenwald said. Together, they command 38% of the American Bible market, he said. Regardless, it's clear the Bible is the top-selling book in the U.S. By comparison, the next best seller in 2018 was Michelle Obama's"Becoming," which BookScan estimates sold 3.5 million copies.
Stan Jantz, president and CEO of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, said in a phone interview that over half of worldwide Bible production takes place in China. The tariff would hurt organizations that give away Bibles and also make it difficult for publishers to sell the Bible at a price people can afford, he said.Biblica, the International Bible Society, is a charitable religious organization that gives away Bibles to people in 55 countries.
