Beskrivning
The history of the Chinese Union Version, set against the broader history of Chinese Bible translation.The publication of the Chinese Union Version (CUV) in 1919 was the culmination of a hundred years of struggle by Western missionaries working closely with Chinese assistants to produce a translation of the Bible fit for the needs of a growing church. Celebrating the CUV's centennial, The Translation of the Bible into Chinese explores the unique challenges faced by its translators in the context of the history of Chinese Bible translation.Ann Cui'an Peng's personal experience of the role played by the CUV in Chinese Christian communities lends the narrative particular weight, while her role as director of the Commission on Bible Publication at the China Christian Council offers a unique insight into the continuing legacy of the CUV for Bible translators today.

'Ann Cui'an Peng offers us the remarkable history of Chinese Bibletranslation, the debates around creating the authoritative Chinese UnionVersion, and the challenges this tenacious version continues to pose to itsreaders today, a century after its first publication. An incredibly importantbook about the most important book of Chinese Christianity.' Alexander Chow,Senior Lecturer in Theology and World Christianity, University of Edinburgh'This well-timed volume, coinciding with the hundredth anniversary ofthe Chinese Union Version Bible, offers a highly readable and accessible studyof the translation history and reception of China's most widely read Bibleedition. Peng's study is particularly helpful in updating the story of theUnion Version to the present day as it contends with new translations andonline reading aids.' Chloe Starr, Associate Professor of Chinese Christianityand Theology, Yale University Divinity School'With the paucity of scholarship about the Bible in Earth's mostpopulous nation, Ann Peng's book is of inestimable value: it fills a lacuna inan accessible yet robust way, revealing the curious journey of the Scripturesin China and brilliantly explaining its current form. She does not avoidcontroversies, but addresses headlong the often-bumpy road behind thetransmission of God's Word. Monumental for its scope, this work helps us to seethe modern-day Chinese Bible aright.' Allen Yeh, Associate Professor of InterculturalStudies, Biola University
