Anglicised Bibles FAQs

What does Anglicised mean in a Bible?

An Anglicised Bible uses British English conventions rather than American English. Depending on the translation, this can include differences in spelling, punctuation and some vocabulary or phrasing. Anglicised editions are particularly useful for UK readers, churches and schools that prefer familiar British English.

Is an Anglicised Bible a different Bible translation?

Usually, no. An Anglicised Bible is normally a British-English edition of an existing translation, such as the NIV or NRSV, rather than a completely separate translation. The underlying translation remains the same, while certain language conventions are adapted for British readers. The exact differences vary between translations.

Should I choose an Anglicised Bible in the UK?

An Anglicised edition can be a good choice if you live in the UK, prefer British spelling and language, or want a Bible that matches editions commonly used in British churches and schools. If you already know which translation you prefer, look for an Anglicised or British-text edition when choosing your Bible.
