the members of the景教(jǐng-jiào) or “luminous teaching” community
during the Tang Dynasty in China (618-907 CE), chronologically constitutes the
first documented engagement between Jesus’ message and the Chinese people. The
entire group of Jingjiao manuscripts can be designated as the Corpus Nestorianum
Sinicum, and two documents, the序聽迷詩所經“Thus have I heard: On the
listening of the Messiah”,and also the一神論“Discourse on the One-God”,
represent the main goal of investigation throughout this dissertation. As a
preparatory step, the writer deemed it necessary to elaborate an interlinear
version, in which the manuscripts were transcribed in sequential order and
numerically organized by columns. Then, he was able to single out the different
stages of development and the background in their composition of the final
product that has been transmitted to us in the “Takakusu and Tomioka
manuscripts” respectively. The theological value of the study focused on the
individuation, exposition, and explanation of the “Christian Godhead,
Christological, and Soteriological Concepts” that were contextualized using
Chinese Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian technical terms within both documents.
Moreover, based on modern Chinese transcriptions and different translations with
a more specific philological and historical approach, the author has included
his own theological translation underlining the core faith elements of the
Jingjiao community. Finally, for a deeper understanding and interpretation, the
writer also has integrated a “proposed reading structure” that is the principal
hermeneutical tool-key to approach both manuscripts within a new theological
outlook and in the viewpoint of a new redating and authorship.
