Abstract
"Over the past few decades, the authenticity of The Discourse on Monotheism and The Jesus Messiah Sutra—two Jingjiao manuscripts which are collected by Japanese scholars Tomioka Kenzô and Takakusu Junjirô, have been questioned by Lin Wushu and Rong Xinjiang. They proposed that these two manuscripts were probably fabricated in the early twentieth century. One of the evidences is that the translations of “Jesus” or “Messiah” in the two manuscripts appear suspicious. In this article, the author finds out that the so-called evidence is not valid. On the basis of many Chinese characters translated from Syriac in the two manuscripts, we come to a completely opposite conclusion. "
