《聖經》在中國的翻譯歷史悠久，與基督宗教在不同時期進入中國的步伐相伴隨。具體到天主教這一塊，各修會傳教士入華時間早、譯經的歷史久，譯著的爭議多，譯文的影響大。清代康熙年間天主教傳教士白日異和中國四川文人徐若翰合譯的《聖經》新約，是目前己知最早的《聖經》新約的中文譯本，在漢譯《聖經》史上佔據了承上啟下的獨特地位，但凡有關《聖經》中譯的學術研究都無法迴避這一點，但相關的研究專著卻並不多見，它通常只是作為後世《聖經》漢譯 研究的一段小前奏出現。這表明，“自徐譯本”在學界尚未得到應有的重視，需要後學者投注更多精力深入文本本身，發掘其自身的內在價值。

Forty-eight essays address the translation of the Bible into China's languages and dialects; expression of the Bible in Chinese literary and religious contexts; Chinese biblical interpretations and methods of reading; and the reception of the Bible in the institutions and arts of China. This comprehensive and unique volume presents insightful, succinct, and provocative evidence about and interpretations of encounters between the Bible and China for centuries past, continuing into the present, and likely prospects for the future"-- Provided by publisher.

This book represents the first monograph-length study of the relationship between Protestant Bible translation and the development of Mandarin from a lingua franca into the national language of China. Drawing on both published and unpublished sources, this book looks into the translation, publication, circulation and use of the Mandarin Bible in late Qing and Republican China, and sets out how the Mandarin Bible contributed to the standardization and enrichment of Mandarin. It also illustrates that the Mandarin Union Version, published in 1919, was involved in promoting Mandarin as not only the standard medium of communication but also a marker of national identity among the Chinese people, thus playing a role in the nation-building of modern China. – publisher note.

It contains a full translation of the Four Gospels, in contradistinction to the well known manuscript of Basset's translation of the New Testament kept in the British Museum (see Willeke 1945* and Setzsche 1999*, pp. 28-30, 36-37), which manuscript only contains a Gospel Harmony (entitled: Si shi you pian Yesu Ji-li-si-du fu yin zhi hui bian 四史攸編耶穌基利斯督福音之會編)….”-- For detailed information see:  Ad Dudink & Nicolas Standaert, Chinese Christian Texts Database (CCT-Database)
