Jingjiao Documents

by Nathangonzalez11

Not sure if I am allowed to ask this question on here. But I'm willing to give it a shot. Hi everyone. I am majoring in History and I plan on applying for a MA in Hebrew Bible for Fall 2021. This semester in my last year I have to write a final research paper. My professor recommended me to try an do it on Nestorian Christianity in China since he knows I want to get into Biblical Studies. I was wondering if they anybody had links to translation of the Jingjiao Documents? Is anyone here a historian on the church of the East in China? I did not know where else to ask. I got a annotated bibliography for this topic but most sources are out of print. A sample bibliography:
