The Interpretation of Tang Christianity in the Late Ming China Mission : Manuel Dias Jr.'s Correct Explanation of the Tang 'Stele Eulogy on the Luminous Teaching' (1644) (Studies in the History of Christianity in East Asia)

Based on the translation of the Correct Explanation of the Tang "Stele Eulogy on the Luminous Teaching" (1644) by the Jesuit Manuel Dias Jr. and other late Ming Chinese Christian sources, the book reconstructs the process of interpretation and "appropriation" of the Xi'an stele and other ancient Christian relics by the Jesuit missionaries and their Chinese converts.
