The Bible in Chinese Characters

If you were in a room of 100 people and ask for a show of hands on how many associate the Bible with the Chinese language, you’d probably get 100% zero hands. But it is interesting to note that some biblical accounts especially those in the book of Genesis are “pictographed” in Chinese characters. One can even share an entire story of the Flood or the Garden by one character alone. This shows that the Chinese culture which is often associated with communism, Buddhism, atheism, and materialism had biblical influences. So if you’ve been wondering how to share the gospel to your Chinese friend or loved ones, this might be a good way to start.
