Recenzje

It is a must read for all who deal with the history of Christianity in China and Central Asia, but more broadly it will also be of interest to scholars of religion, experts in Chinese Buddhism, church historians, theologians and missiologists. It is surely to become an indispensable English reference work when dealing with the Christian texts from Tang-era China.
