An ancient stone was found in the Tang capital of Changan in the early 1620s containing an inscription in Chinese and Syriac. The inscription was identified to have been composed in 781 by the Church of the East. This splendid edition, by a Japanese scholar whose lifework was Christianity in China, contains the full text of the inscription, a translation into English, critical and historical notes, and several forewords. Also included is an introduction describing the Church of the East, the original discovery of the stone, its protection at the end of the Ching Dynasty, and the course of Nestorian Christianity in China from its first settlement to its transformation as a secret society.

By Sebastian P. Brock

ISBN: 1-59333-300-5

This is a basic introduction to the various Syriac translations of the Bible and the ways in which they were used in the Syriac tradition. After an initial discussion of the general problems of biblical translation, the different surviving Syriac translations are outlined, as well as biblical manuscripts, lectionaires, printed editions, and translations. A reception history of the Syriac Bible covers the ways in which it has been interpreted, the commentary tradition, its use in preaching, in liturgy, and in spirituality. An appendix offers some comparative samples (in translation) to illustrate some of the differences between the different Syriac translations.
