Description
Glen L Thompson's The Jingjiao: the Earliest Christian Church in China (Eerdmans Press, 2024) provides a thorough introduction to a very little known history of the centuries old story of Christians in China.

As a historian of early Christianity, this is a history I knew nothing about and I am sure listeners will learn a lot from this great book.
