Commemorating the diffusion of Christianity in China from 635-781, the inscription was erected in the latter year as a public monument. The inscription in Chinese, supplemented with some Syriac, provides a brief outline of Christian doctrine and provides an account of how Christianity came to China. This book offers an English translation of the monument along with the original language text UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463215750 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463215750 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463215750/original ER -
