Abstract

The academic research on the Chinese version of the Bible has rarely focused from the perspective of readers so far, nor has it concerned with the reading habits and reading experience of ordinary readers. Based on the field survey data of Nanjing believers, this study discusses the reading habits about the Bible, the choices of different versions, and the acceptance and evaluation of the Revised Chinese Union Version (RCUV). Moreover, this study employs econometrical model to estimate the determinants of simultaneous coexistence of multiple translational versions of the Bible, contemporary readers’ acceptance, and evaluation of the RCUV.
