Beschreibung

Christianity reached China through Syriac Christians centuries before Catholic missions began. Seven Chinese texts (from the 7th to 10th century) reveal this fascinating episode through apologetic works, mystical dialogues and liturgical prayers that incorporate Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian terminology, showing Christianity's creative encounter with Chinese culture. This volume presents them in bilingual editions; annotated and commented, with introductions. The first English critical edition since 1951 is essential for scholars in theology, Church history, sinology and comparative religion.

Alexis Balmont is a theologian and sinologist with dual PhDs in Chinese and Patristic Studies. He has been living in China since 2019.
