SHANGHAI, China — Some Christians in China are using creative ways to bypass the official system to distribute Christian literature, including Bibles.
Despite the considerable achievement of the China Christian Council (CCC) in Bible publishing, the continuing rapid church growth has resulted in an ongoing considerable shortage of Bibles and other Christian literature.
This is exacerbated by CCC’s refusal to allow other Chinese publishers to publish Bibles, to the extent of threatening to sue rival publishers, and the astonishing ban on legal Christian bookshops outside the CCC legally selling the Bible.
Bible publishing currently is restricted to the state-controlled Catholic and Protestant religious associations.
