"The Jesus Sutras are early Chinese language manuscripts of Christian teachings. They are connected with the 7th century mission of Alopen, a Church of the East bishop from Persia. These manuscripts have been named Sutras only recently by western authors.The manuscripts date from between 635 AD, the year of Alopen's arrival in China, and around 1000 AD when the cave at Mogao near Dunhuang in which the documents were discovered was sealed."@en .
