Wilhelm Baum and Dietmar W. Winkler, The Church of the East: A concise history, London/New York: Routledge Curzon, 2003.

The Church of the East is currently the only complete history in English of the East Syriac Church of the East. It covers the periods of the Sassanians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, the 20th century, and informs about the Syriac, Iranian and Chinese literature of this unique and almost forgotten part of Christendom.
