Description

The Multilingual 6 Language New Testament is a parallel text edition that presents the New Testament in six different languages: Greek, four Chinese translations (Union Version, Today's Chinese Version, Lu Chen-Chung Version, and the Catholic Studium Biblicum Version), and the English New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). This edition is an invaluable resource for comparative scripture study, language learning, and for those engaged in intercultural and interdenominational dialogue. It allows readers to explore the New Testament scriptures across different linguistic and cultural lenses.

Interesting

The inclusion of multiple Chinese translations alongside the original Greek and the NRSV provides a broad spectrum for theological and linguistic study. The Chinese Union Version is known for its ecumenical acceptance, Today's Chinese Version for its contemporary language, the Lu Chen-Chung Version for its Protestant evangelical perspective, and the Studium Biblicum Version for its Catholic annotations. The NRSV is recognized for its academic rigor and ecumenical approach. This multilingual New Testament is a testament to the diversity and unity within the Christian faith, offering a unique tool for deepening one's understanding of the sacred texts.
