ROMAN MALEK (ed.)

The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ - Vol. 3a

This collection in five volumes tries to realize the desideratum of a comprehensive interdisciplinary work on the manifold faces and images of Jesus in China, which unites the Sinological, mission-historical, theological, art-historical, and other aspects. The first three volumes (vols. L/1-3) contain articles and texts which discuss the faces and images of Jesus Christ from the Tang dynasty to the present time. In a separate volume (vol. L/4) follows an annotated bibliography of the Western and Chinese writings on Jesus Christ in China and a general index with glossary. The iconography, i.e., the attempts of the Western missionaries and the Chinese to portray Jesus in an artistic way, will be presented in the fifth volume of this collection (vol. L/5).

 

"... this Volume not only provides many hours of interesting reading, but will certainly deepen one's understanding of the reception of Christianity in China in the first half of the 20th century."

Helen Murre-van-den-Berg in Exchange 36 (2007)
