• We read:
• “The first documentation of Christianity entering China was written on an 8th-century stone tablet known as the Nestorian Stele.”
• It was called the Nestorian Stele because the Nestorian Church was the first contact with those Chinese and Mongolians. The Nestorian Church used the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament.
• The Wikipedia article goes on to say:
• “Some modern scholars question whether Nestorianism is the proper term for the Christianity that was practiced in China, since it did not adhere to what was preached by Nestorius. They instead prefer to refer to it as "Church of the East", a term which encompasses the various forms of early Christianity in Asia.”
