Korean Hankul Bible Nears Completion After Wartime Setback
The New Testament has been printed and the Old Testament will be ready in January according to Dr. Young-Bin Im, general secretary of the Korean Bible Society. Sponsored by the American Bible Society, the Hankul Bible began after World War II and was nearly done when South Korea was invaded in 1950. The manuscript was buried in jars, recovered after Seoul’s liberation, sent to Tokyo for final translation, then printed in Pusan. The work aims to establish standards for writing Korea’s official language Hankul.
