Overview
English:
This edition of the Holy Bible is the Chinese Union Version (Simplified), widely used among Chinese-speaking Christians. It is known for its accuracy and ease of use, utilizing simplified characters and modern punctuation. The "Shangdi" version allows readers the option of using “God” or “Lord” interchangeably in translations where the term for the divine appears. This Bible is designed for both personal study and group readings, offering easy navigation through its double-column format.
This updated version includes a number of modifications to ensure clarity and consistency with modern language usage. For instance, personal pronouns like "他" are adjusted to indicate gender (他 for male, 她 for female, 它 for neutral), and older terms such as “服事” are replaced with more common modern phrases. Additionally, place names and personal names are updated to modern equivalents.
