The Southern Baptist publishing arm LifeWay Christian Resources plans to sell Bibles in Chinese. Its Holman Bible Publishers group has already printed 20,000 copies of a modern translation of the New Testament. The Chinese Standard Bible is considered to be the first direct Chinese translation by scholars from the original Greek. The Bibles will be available in the US, Canada and Brazil. They may eventually become available in China. The company laid off 5% of its work force last year and LifeWay has refused to reveal how sales are going during the current economic downturn.
