Overview
What happens when the earliest Christian missionaries to China encounter advanced Tang science, Daoism, and the power of qi? This groundbreaking book takes you inside the lost world of Jingjiao—the Luminous Teaching/Religion—uncovering how these East Syriac missionaries expressed the Holy Spirit through Chinese metaphors of breath and wind. With a fresh English translation of the full Tang Jingjiao corpus—some never before translated with such nuance—you explore a rich constructive theology of creation shaped by interreligious dialogue and scientific insight. Blending theology, Daoism, and Quantum Field Theory, the book introduces Embodied Critical Realism as a bold new method for theology-science-religion trialogue. Read it—and rethink Chinese theology for the third millennium.
