Widely cited as a source for reliable information on "Nestorian" missionaries, this study begins with a history of the church in Persia (Iran) and its missionary focus. "Nestorianism" is traced from Arabia through central and eastern Asia and finally into southern India. Stewart addresses the absorption of the "Nestorians" by the Roman Catholic Church in Asia and assesses the by-products of its "Nestorian" heritage. Stewart was writing in the 1820s, and he addresses the situation of the church in his own day. This dynamic account of the often misunderstood "Nestorian" work has become a main reference for those interested in the question of the missionary zeal of the Church of the East.

John Stewart, M.A., Ph.D., was a missionary with the United Free Church of Scotland Mission in Madras for 35 years. He served as Secretary to the Madras Mission Council. Nestorian Missionary Enterprise is his most celebrated work.

History of Eastern Christianity

This book is a classic in the history of the Oriental Churches, which are sometimes portrayed as heretical in general church history books, if mentioned at all. Written by a Copt, it portrays the history of the faith of these non-Chalcedonian Churches with first-hand knowledge of their traditions. The author covers Alexandrine Christianity (the Copts and the Ethiopians), the Church of Antioch (Syriac Orthodox), the “Nestorian” Church of the East, the Armenian Church, the St. Thomas Christians of South India, the Maronite Church, as well as the Vanished Churches of Carthage, Pentapolis, and Nubia.

The Mystical Tradition of the Eastern Church

This volume presents the work of contemporary Orthodox thinkers who attempt to integrate the theological and the mystical. Exciting and provocative chapters treat a wide variety of mysticism, including early Church accounts, patristics (including the seemingly ever-popular subject of deification), liturgy, iconography, spiritual practice, and contemporary efforts to find mystical sense in cyber-technologies and post-humanism.

The Armenian Church Synaxarion is a collection of saints’ lives according to the day of the year on which each saint is celebrated. Part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium, the first Armenian Church Synaxarion represented the logical culmination of a long and steady development of what is today called the cult of the saints. This volume, the first Armenian-English edition, is the fifth of a twelve-volume series—one for each month of the year—and is ideal for personal devotional use or as a valuable resource for anyone interested in saints.
