A study of the life and times of Bishop S.I.J. Schereschewsky
(1831-1906) and his translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into
northern vernacular (Mandarin) Chinese. Based largely on archival
materials, missionary records and letters, the book includes an
analysis of the translated Chinese text together with
Schereschewsky's explanatory notes.
The book examines his Jewish youth in Eastern Europe, conversion,
American seminary study, journey to Shanghai and Beijing, mission
routine, the translating committee's work, his tasks as Episcopal
bishop in Shanghai and the founding of St. John's University.
Concluding chapters analyze the controversial "Term Question" (the
Chinese term for God) and Schereschewsky's techniques of
translating the Hebrew text.
Included are useful discussions of the Old Testament's Chinese
reception and the role of this translation for subsequent Bible
translating efforts.
