"The contributions in this volume were mostly first presented at the conference ""Research on Nestorianism in China. Zhongguo jingjiao yanjiu 中國景教研究"" held in Salzburg, 20– 26 May 2003. Like the conference, the volume explores the subject of ""Nestorianism"" (jingjiao, ""Luminous Religion"") in a variety of aspects. The material of the present collection is organized in five parts. The first part presents different aspects of the past and current research on jingjiao. The second part discusses jingjiao in the Tang dynasty, especially the question of the ""Nestorian"" texts and documents, their authenticity and theology. The third part deals with the ""Nestorian"" inscriptions and remains from the Yuan dynasty, especially from Quanzhou. Part four is dedicated to questions of the Church of the East in Central Asia and other historically relevant countries. The last part of the book presents a ""Preliminary Bibliography on the Church of the East in China and Central Asia"" prepared especially for this volume."

Roman Malek S.V.D. (1951–2019) was a Sinologist (Ph.D., University of Bonn, 1984; postdoctoral thesis, ibid., 2003) and an expert of religions in China, in particular Daoism and Christianity. He was professor emeritus of history of religions at the Philosophical-Theological Faculty S.V.D. at Sankt Augustin, Germany, and the former director and editor-in-chief of the Monumenta Serica Institute, Sankt Augustin, an academic institution maintained by the Society of the Divine Word. Under his editorship from 1992 to 2012, 20 volumes of the Sinological journal Monumenta Serica and 75 volumes of the Institute’s book series were published, among them many titles on the history of Christianity in China., e.g., on important China missionaries such as Johann Adam Schall von Bell, Ferdinand Verbiest, and Giulio Aleni.
