I am delighted to make available a complete Chinese translation, including end notes, of my article summarizing the central argument of Man and Woman, One in Christ: “The Bible Teaches the Equal Standing of Man and Woman” Priscilla Papers 29 number 1 (Winter 2015) 3-10. I am profoundly grateful to Jiang Qingxin (江庆心), Beijing (北京), Renmin (People’s) University of China (中国人民大学), who translated it. Mable Yin writes, “the translation is superb. I dare not touch it. I am clearly in awe of it. It is excellent. I am just THRILLED this translation exists.”
