Quick question searching Christian Vocabulary

[xueshengDan]

Hello, please let me preface this by saying that I do not intend anything more than to find some commonly used words in Church. I studied Mandarin in Dalian this past summer and upon returning back to the States I decided to go back to Church. But, I chose to go to a Chinese Christian Church and my vocabulary in this setting is quite limited. If anyone knows of a website that offers a word list of Christian terminology in Chinese/pinyin/English I would be be grateful. Thank a bunch, Dan

Hi

I put a search into google and I got this:-

http://www.chinese-word.com/chinese/z_bible.html

Not sure if it is what you want, but it may help.

Thank you John, it is a good start for me. I see a few missionaries here that speak Chinese really well. It is actually motivating to hear them just speak so well. I never thought that I would end up in a Chinese Christian church when I first began studying mandarin, thanks for the link. Take care, Dan

I bought an excellent English Chinese bible with full pinyin from Amazon.

When I came back to the States from Dalian I was looking for ways to immerse myself in the language while here, I found the a chinese church and it has helped me talking with others and trying to listen and understand. It has been a great experience, the church uses traditional charactors which has proven to be a challenge, especially when singing. But, if anyone is like me, kind of stuck in a language rut, then here is another method to practice. Ok, well thanks for looking at my post I will continue to search for resources.
