This collection in five volumes tries to realise the desideratum of a comprehensive interdisciplinary work on the manifold faces and images of Jesus in China, which unites the Sinological, mission-historical, theological, art-historical, and other aspects.

The first three volumes (vols. L/1-3) contain articles and texts which discuss the faces and images of Jesus Christ from the Tang dynasty to the present time. In a separate volume (vol. L/4) follows an annotated bibliography of the Western and Chinese writings on Jesus Christ in China and a general index with glossary. The iconography, i.e., the attempts of the Western missionaries and the Chinese to portray Jesus in an artistic way, will be presented in the fifth volume of this collection (vol. L/5).

The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ: Volume 3b is part of this unique ongoing project, which, according to John Witek in the Journal of Asian Studies, "continues to open a new, vital lens to learn more about China in its intellectual and cultural dimensions."
