Chinese factory to supply one in four Bibles

China will become one of the biggest Bible producing countries when a new printing press opens this month.

Nanjing is home to a 48,000-sq m factory which will employ 600 non-Christian locals producing 23 Bibles a minute. Most will be distributed in China in 10 languages and braille. The plant is expected to supply a quarter of the world’s Bibles by 2009. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2008
