The contributions in this volume were mostly first presented at the
conference "Research on Nestorianism in China. Zhongguo jingjiao
yanjiu 中國景教研究" held in Salzburg, 20– 26 May 2003. Like
the conference, the volume explores the subject of "Nestorianism"
(jingjiao, "Luminous Religion") in a variety of aspects. The material
of the present collection is organized in five parts. The first part
presents different aspects of the past and current research on
jingjiao. The second part discusses jingjiao in the Tang dynasty,
especially the question of the "Nestorian" texts and documents, their
authenticity and theology. The third part deals with the "Nestorian"
inscriptions and remains from the Yuan dynasty, especially from
Quanzhou. Part four is dedicated to questions of the Church of the
East in Central Asia and other historically relevant countries. The
last part of the book presents a "Preliminary Bibliography on the
Church of the East in China and Central Asia" prepared especially for
this volume.
