AB - The aim of this paper is to suggest some goals of future missions for present day Christians in the light of the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of early Nestorian missionary movement with a clearer perspective of the history of Nestorian missions than thus far understood. The Nestorian Church originated in the 5th century A.D. during the Sassanid Empire in Persia. It is often known as the Syrian Church or the Syrian Ancient Church in the West and Kyungkyo(景敎) in the East. The Nestorian Church spread to Central Asia and further eastwards via the Silk Road reaching China by the 7th century A.D.
I shall demonstrate the historical significance of Nestorian Missions in modern day Turkey, Central Asia, and in Turkic na tions by focusing on the life of Rabban Bar Sawma and the growth of Nestorian Church during the Kingdom of Osroene and the Sassanid Empire. The paper will weave stories of the Mongol Ilkhanate of Persia and its relation to the Christian Mediterranean countries in the 13th century A.D. and to the Roman Catholic Church in the Persian Gulf of Mongolia and in the Middle East.
