Students will also enjoy the daily memory verses, prayer translations, and meditative writing exercises aimed at developing their vocabulary and overall Chinese language skills. Chinese through Scripture, a Christ-centered textbook with an accompanying workbook, is both edifying for the mind and nourishing for the soul. - Karen An-hwei Lee, Provost of Wheaton College
Chinese Through Scripture is the perfect book to allow intermediate-level students of Chinese to learn to express their Christian faith in the Chinese language, to prepare them for Christian ministry and outreach to Chinese speakers across the globe. Its rich variety of content includes many Bible passages in Chinese with vocabulary notes, and the creative workbook helps the student master the material. Professor Wang's book fills a gap in the field of Chinese language teaching for Christian students of the language. - Larry Herzberg, Professor Emeritus of Chinese, Calvin University; Author of Basic Patterns of Chinese Grammar (Stone Bridge Press) and Writing Guide for Learners of Chinese (Yale U. Press).
Professor Wang offers a timely contribution for Chinese language learners through her textbook Chinese through Scripture. As an increasing number of individuals in the Chinese-speaking world proclaim the Christian faith, students of Chinese language and culture will need to understand the vocabulary and prose of the Bible. Professor Wang fills a critical gap in the literature by making such learning possible, memorable, and enjoyable through her published textbook of Chinese through Scripture. I cannot recommend this resource enough! - Robert M. Lyons, Jr., Director of Academic Affairs, Georgetown University, SFS Asian Studies Program
