Overview

English:
This edition of the Holy Bible is the Chinese Union Version (Simplified), widely used by Chinese-speaking Christians. Known as the "Shen" version, it uses the term "Shen" (神) for God, though readers have the option of interpreting it as "Shangdi" (上帝). This Bible uses simplified characters and modern punctuation to make the text more accessible.

The translation includes updates for easier comprehension, modernizing terms like “服事” (service) to “服侍” and updating place names and personal names, such as changing “该撒” to “凯撒” (Caesar) and “义大利” to “意大利” (Italy). Additional tools like a Bible timeline, commentary on names, and frequently referenced verses are provided for enhanced study. Double-column formatting is used for ease of reading, and poetic sections are arranged in verse form.
