The author is one of the very few Westerners to have visited many of the most important Assyrian sites, and his book remains an indispensable point of reference for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in the Middle East.

Guiding the reader from apostolic beginnings to present-day activity, the author discusses the theology of the Assyrian Church, its Christology and its uniquely vigorous spirituality. He analyzes, furthermore, the turbulent relationship it has had with other Christian churches as well as its various dialogs with neighboring world religions such as Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. Abundantly illustrated with maps and over 170 full-color photographs, the book will be essential reading for all those who want better to appreciate and understand this fascinating but depredated Christian community which has so profoundly shaped the history of civilization in both East and West.<br />
The so-called 'Nestorian' Church (officially known as the Apostolic Assyrian Church of the East, with its See in Baghdad) was one of the most significant Christian communities to develop east of the Roman Empire.

Christoph Baumer is one of the very few Westerners to have visited many of the most important Assyrian sites and has written the only comprehensive history of the Church, which now fights for survival in its country of origin, Iraq, and is almost forgotten in the West. He narrates its rich and colorful trajectory, from its apostolic beginnings to the present day, and discusses the Church's theology, christology, and uniquely vigorous spirituality. He analyzes the Church's turbulent relationship with other Christian chuches and its dialogue with neighboring world religions such as Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Islam, Buddhism, and Taoism.
