The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ - Vol. 2

“… these two volumes [i.e., vols. 1 and 2] are a useful addition to the existing literature on Christianity in China. Excellent essays have been collected here, valuable primary sources selected, and new perspectives offered. The visual impact is enhanced with the inclusion of original illustrations. For anyone who wants to know more about Christianity in China, particularly the conceptions of Jesus, these two volumes provide simple and convenient accessibility.”

Patrick Fuliang Shan in China Review International

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).
