This Handbook, comprises of forty-eight essays, showcases the Bible’s translation, expression, interpretation, and reception in China over the last thirteen hundred years: 1) translation of the Bible into China’s languages and dialects; 2) expression of the Bible in Chinese literary and religious contexts; 3) Chinese biblical interpretations and methods of reading; and 4) the reception of the Bible in the institutions and arts of China. Each essay, written by an expert, consists of a comprehensive yet concise treatment set in a historical frame on topics as wide-ranging as: the first Chinese Bibles, Chinese Nestorian Christianity, Bible of the minority nationalities, Sino-Christian theology, printed illustrations of the Gospel in China, the Bible and Chinese films, Chinese calligraphy and the biblical texts, Chinese Classics and the Bible, and Chinese society and politics. Each essay raises key issues and presents both primary and secondary sources for further studies. A detailed Index allows readers to scan key themes across the essays. This comprehensive and unique volume presents insightful, succinct, and provocative evidence and interpretations of encounters between the Bible and China for centuries past, the present, and prospects for the future
