«'Ann Cui'an Peng offers us the remarkable history of Chinese Bible translation, the debates around creating the authoritative Chinese Union Version, and the challenges this tenacious version continues to pose to its readers today, a century after its first publication. An incredibly important book 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 of the Chinese Union Version Bible, offers a highly readable and accessible study of the translation history and reception of China's most widely read Bible edition. Peng's study is particularly helpful in updating the story of the Union Version to the present day as it contends with new translations and online reading aids.' Chloe Starr, Associate Professor of Chinese Christianity and Theology, Yale University Divinity School 'With the paucity of scholarship about the Bible in Earth's most populous nation, Ann Peng's book is of inestimable value: it fills a lacuna in an accessible yet robust way, revealing the curious journey of the Scriptures in China and brilliantly explaining its current form. She does not avoid controversies, but addresses headlong the often-bumpy road behind the transmission of God's Word. Monumental for its scope, this work helps us to see the modern-day Chinese Bible aright.' Allen Yeh, Associate Professor of Intercultural Studies, Biola University»
