The authors start with a prologue 'The Story of a Stone' which covers its discovery, the century of kircher, 18th-century problems and controversies and the return of the missionaries, and finish with an epilogue 'The Da Qin Temple'.The thesis of this book is that when Westerners discussed the Nestorian monument they were not really talking about China at all.
