Early Chinese Christianity:
The Tang Christian Monument and Other Documents
by Johan Ferreira
Published by St Pauls, 2014.
Order from Sydney College of Divinity
This book investigates the origin and the character of Early Chinese Christianity during the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE). It sets Tang Christianity against the background of Syriac Christianity and the Tang cultural milieu, and then particularly focuses on the Tang Christian Monument and two Dunhuang manuscripts, the Hymn to the Trinity and Saints and Scriptures, providing syntactical analyses and fresh translations of the primary material. The research integrates western and Chinese scholarship on the subject and also provides an assessment of the history and theology of Tang Christianity. The book argues that Tang Christianity should not be branded with the Nestorian label, but must be understood in its own right.

The Book of Jonah:
An Exegetical Commentary on the Hebrew Text
The book of Jonah does not cease to fascinate children and to challenge scholars alike. In terms of its literary form, imagery, and meaning, the book is both simple and profound. Moreover, it is unique among the prophetic books. It is not about the message of the prophet but rather about the prophet himself. This commentary offers further training in original language exegesis by illustrating the significance of Hebrew for understanding and teaching the book of Jonah; as such, it fills the gap between learning the basics of Hebrew grammar and using Hebrew in practical preparation for teaching and preaching. Therefore, after a general overview of the theme and purpose of the book of Jonah, the commentary provides an in-depth analysis of the Hebrew text. Having observed how the Hebrew text informs interpretation, readers may then apply the same methods and principles to other sections of the Hebrew Bible.
