中国古代基督教历史的遗忘

Summary of the Lecture:
This lecture is a brief sketch of the evidence for how Christianity came to and was
planted in China. Its suppression under later imperial dynasties led to its
transformation not extinction. The arrival of an "eastern" Christian movement into
China is yet another example of how the early Church had its origins in Middle East
and continued to move further east, just as it traveled westward.
