The Chinese Contemporary Bible (当代圣经 Dangdai Shengjing) is a Bible translation by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, published in 2012.
The CCB is a translation from the Greek and Hebrew, replacing the Chinese Living Bible, New Testament (当代福音) originally published in 1974 by Living Bibles International, then republished in 1998 by IBS. The CLB was criticized for its reliance on the English Living Bible.
Chinese Contemporary Bible (CCB) / Simplified Characters Edition / Bonded Leather Cover / 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" / "This Bible speaks to my heart because it reads like the language I speak at home." Putonghua The Chinese Contemporary Bible is translated into Standard Mandarin, also known as Putonghua, meaning "common speech." There are 873 million Mandarin speakers in mainland China. The Chinese Contemporary Bible is exactly what its name implies: a contemporary, modern version for Chinese speakers. The Chinese Contemporary Bible's revisions reflect the changes in Chinese language, providing opportunity to reach the younger generation, children and seekers. The need for a modern, less formal translation was affirmed when a young man shared with one of the translators and said, "This Bible speaks to my heart because it reads like the language I speak at home."
