This is a black & white printing version of History of Christianity in Xinjiang, China-With a Brief History of Xinjiang. (Chinese version)This book seeks to explore the history of Christianity in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, as well as a general history background of this region. Since 1800 BC, Xinjiang served as the backyard of central Asia, as well as the frontier of East Asia. Numerous groups have ruled this region throughout history, including Caucasian Westerners, Greeks, Persians, Turks, Mongolians, Manchurians and the Han Chinese. Among the different races and ethnic groups, Nestorian, Catholic and Protestant Christianity influenced the history of this region as they spread from the 5th century AD. These denominations of Christianity were, however, in competition with Zoroastrianism since the 5th century BC, Buddhism since the 1st century BC, Manichaeism since the 7th century AD, Islam since the 10th Century, Tibetan Yellow Lamaism since the 17th century, and Communism since 1949.
