Dating from the 5th to 11th centuries AD, they recounted a Taoist interpretation of Jesuss life and teachings. In this volume, theologist Martin Palmer provides a history and translation of these sacred texts. The work: recounts the story of the first Christian missions to China; explains how the Church of the East blended Eastern and Western spiritual principles, and how Jesus became a Buddha Christ; details the contents of each of the sutras; tells the story of the Taoist Christians and their teachings; and recounts Martin Palmers rediscovery of one of the earliest Taoist Christian monasteries, an intact 8th-century pagoda, and its amazing statues and artefacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Piatkus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213488611381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0749922656","price":500.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780749922658_f00d021a-4731-4495-a785-a83ac848e618.jpg?v=1779915563","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jesus-sutras-9780749922658","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
