Professor Wang's book fills a gap in the field of Chinese language teaching for Christian students of the language. - Larry Herzberg, Professor Emeritus of Chinese, Calvin University; Author of Basic Patterns of Chinese Grammar (Stone Bridge Press) and Writing Guide for Learners of Chinese (Yale U. Press). Professor Wang offers a timely contribution for Chinese language learners through her textbook Chinese through Scripture . As an increasing number of individuals in the Chinese-speaking world proclaim the Christian faith, students of Chinese language and culture will need to understand the vocabulary and prose of the Bible. Professor Wang fills a critical gap in the literature by making such learning possible, memorable, and enjoyable through her published textbook of Chinese through Scripture . I cannot recommend this resource enough! - Robert M.
