The book focuses on the little-known mission efforts of the Church of the East in Asia, particularly in the late 8th and early 9th century when Patriarch Timothy led the Church. It re-examines the question of whether the Church was able to reach out to the surrounding Muslim communities in what is how Iraq and Iran, and breaks new ground with new conclusions.
