Church of the East Monastic Mission in Ninth Century Asia

This book seeks to bring light to the Eastern Churches under early Islam, in order to reveal something of the vigour of Christianity where it has been overlooked or unexpected. It brings together existing scholarship and adds new, to provide a picture of faith that sees the challenge of mission and meets it with integrity, courage and imagination.
