Chinese Bilingual Bible

The New Chinese Version (NCV 1992) and the English Standard Version (ESV 2001), two of the latest Bible versions in their own languages, have come together in this new bilingual parallel Bible, published by Worldwide Bible Society in 2003. Both versions are "essentially literal" translation of the Bible, emphasizing word-for-word accuracy to the original texts, yet both are also aiming for readability and ease of understanding. If you want to share God's words with a Chinese friend, this will be an indispensable tool. If you want to enhance your secondary language skill while reading the scripture, this Bible can also be quite effective. Some of the key features for this bilingual Bible are as follows:

- Word-for-word translation accuracy yet easy to understand
- Harmony between the Chinese and English versions
- Expanded Book Introductions and Outlines
- Over 20,000 revised study notes
- Concordance with over 35,000 entries
- Bible history reference bar charts
