About Our Chinese Bible
The Chinese Bible (聖經) is one of the most important religious texts in Chinese-speaking communities worldwide. Our platform hosts the Chinese Union Version (CUV / 和合本) — first published in 1919 and widely regarded as the definitive Chinese Bible translation — in both Cantonese and Mandarin dialects.
Cantonese Bible (粵語聖經)
The Cantonese Bible uses traditional Chinese characters and includes Jyutping (粵拼) romanization — the standard system for representing Cantonese pronunciation. Cantonese is spoken by over 85 million people, primarily in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong Province, and diaspora communities worldwide. Our Cantonese Bible is ideal for heritage language learners, theology students, and anyone wishing to engage with scripture in their native or ancestral tongue.
Mandarin Bible (普通話聖經)
The Mandarin Bible supports both simplified Chinese (简体字) and traditional Chinese (繁體字), with Pinyin (拼音) romanization. Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore, and is spoken by over one billion people. Our Mandarin Bible with Pinyin is widely used by language learners studying Chinese through scripture, as well as by churches and Bible study groups across East Asia and the Chinese diaspora.
Learning Chinese Through the Bible
Many language learners find that studying a familiar text — such as the Bible — in their target language accelerates learning significantly. The repetition of key vocabulary, the richness of the language, and the personal motivation of faith all combine to create an effective learning environment. 粵語學堂 is purpose-built for exactly this approach, integrating the full Chinese Bible with vocabulary flashcards, stroke order practice, tone training, and spaced repetition — giving you the most effective path to reading and understanding the Bible in Chinese.

What is the difference between the Cantonese Bible and the Mandarin Bible?
The Cantonese Bible (粵語聖經) uses Cantonese pronunciation with Jyutping romanization, while the Mandarin Bible (普通話聖經) uses Mandarin pronunciation with Pinyin.

Does the Chinese Bible include Jyutping or Pinyin romanization?
