Description - The Church of the East by Wilhelm Baum
This book is currently the only complete history in English of the East Syriac Church of the East. It covers the periods of the Sassanians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, the 20th century, and informs about the Syriac, Iranian and Chinese literature of this unique and almost forgotten part of Christendom. In the European Middle Ages, the Church was geographically far larger that any western Church, with followers along the Silk Road, in central Asia, China and in India. However, during the invasion of Tamberlane during the 14th century, and through the massacres and deportations at the hands of the kurds and Turks during the First World War, the Church of the East has become today the smallest among the oriental Churches. It is now scattered all over the world, with faithful in the Middle East, Europe, the US, India and Australia.
