Is the Bible an ancient text, a mere relic of the past? Is the
Bible a "Western" product, irrelevant to the "East"? Can the Bible
be imagined as a living text for twenty-first century China? The
Oxford Handbook of the Bible in China provides surprising answers
and discoveries related to the Bible and its place in China over
the last thirteen hundred years. Forty-seven essays address the
translation of the Bible into China's languages and dialects,
expression of the Bible in Chinese literary and religious contexts,
Chinese biblical interpretations and methods of reading, and the
reception of the Bible in the institutions and arts of China. Each
essay 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, Bibles of 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. This expansive and unique volume
presents insightful, succinct, and provocative evidence about and
interpretations of encounters between the Bible and China for
centuries past, continuing into the present, and likely prospects
for the future.
