Top 10 Chinese Articles Translated into English in 2023

The Chinese originals cover themes in history, current state, and trends of the church in China and overseas, as well as reflections on Chinese culture.

Christianity Today December 20, 2023

Since CT began its global ministry in 2020, we have had hundreds of English articles translated into more than 10 non-English languages. In early 2022, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional) became the first—and so far the only—language in which CT has had original articles. Most articles originally written in Chinese have English translations, and a few of them have translations in other languages. Here at the end of 2023, there are now more than 50 articles originally written in Chinese on the CT website (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and foreign language translations of the same article are counted as one).

Below are the English translations of the 10 best articles originally written in Chinese in the past year, as recommended by the CT Chinese managing editor. These 10 articles are quite representative of CT Chinese’s content themes. There are reports and commentaries on the current situation and trends of Chinese churches in China and overseas, as well as reviews and reflections on missions history; there is illumination of Chinese culture from biblical perspectives as well as reflections on science, technology, and pop culture based on Christian values. Authors include pastors, church leaders, and scholars of the Bible, theology, and church history from Chinese churches in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and North America.

In 2024, we will continue to publish and translate articles originally written in Chinese. If you have any suggestions or comments on our articles, please feel free to email us (ChristianityTodayZH@christianitytoday.com) to provide feedback.
