5.0 out of 5 stars Most readable translation in Simplified Script, April 18, 2009

This review is from: Chinese Nt Dark Blue Plastic Covr W Thumb Indx Silver Edge Shangti Sim Script (Chinese Edition) (Imitation Leather)

To my knowledge, this is the most readable translation in Simplified script. The Chinese Church only trusts the Union Translation, but Chinese from the People's Republic of China generally find it easier to understand the NIV in English over the Union Translation in Simplified Script. This is a great seeker friendly translation. The Union is a great Chinese translation, but still would be inferior to the King James Bible translation in readability, accuracy and literary quality. The objection I have heard to this translation is the use in some places (ie Rev. 1:5 and Rev. 5:9) of "sacrificial death" as an explanation of "blood".
