Gospel Of Saint John - St. John - Bog

The Gospel of Saint John: In the Chinese Language, According to the Dialect of Shanghai (1853) is a book that contains the biblical text of the Gospel of Saint John, translated into the Chinese language using the dialect of Shanghai. Written by St. John, the Gospel is one of the four canonical gospels and tells the story of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The book was originally written in Greek, but has been translated into numerous languages over the centuries. This particular translation was completed in 1853 and is significant because it represents an early attempt to bring the Christian message to the people of China. The use of the Shanghai dialect was intentional, as it was one of the most widely spoken dialects in China at the time. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Chinese language and culture, as well as for those interested in the history of Christianity in China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
