The New Chinese Bible Center, WBS’s predecessor, came into existence in 1972. Back then, some Chinese church leaders saw a need to faithfully translate from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages into one using contemporary easy-to-read Chinese, for an essentially evangelical faith with a view of exalting Christ, thus the then four-fold motto expressed!

As a result, a team of approximately 100 prominent Chinese Bible scholars and language experts from all over the world took part in this long and arduous task. Under the great leadership of Revs. Drs. Philip Teng, John Pao, Samuel Tang, the late James Taylor III, Timothy Lin, Andrew Song, Wu Ming Chieh, etc., the Center then commissioned Rev. Paul Yung to be General Secretary, charged to coordinate the work among numerous translators, reviewers, and panelists.

By God’s grace, the whole project was completed in 1992. Hence the Chinese New Version (CNV), the first ever Chinese Bible translated by the Chinese themselves from the original biblical languages, was born and published in that same year by the Tien Dao Publishing House. Several million copies of this CNV Bible, either in the format of individual gospel booklets, or just the New Testament, or the complete Old and New Testaments, had been distributed since the first release of the single booklet, the Gospel of John, in 1972
