Early Chinese Christianity:
The Tang Christian Monument and Other Documents
by Johan Ferreira
Published by St Pauls, 2014.
Order from Sydney College of Divinity
This book investigates the origin and the character of Early Chinese Christianity during the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE). It sets Tang Christianity against the background of Syriac Christianity and the Tang cultural milieu, and then particularly focuses on the Tang Christian Monument and two Dunhuang manuscripts, the Hymn to the Trinity and Saints and Scriptures, providing syntactical analyses and fresh translations of the primary material. The research integrates western and Chinese scholarship on the subject and also provides an assessment of the history and theology of Tang Christianity. The book argues that Tang Christianity should not be branded with the Nestorian label, but must be understood in its own right.
