520 |a As refugees of the Persian persecution and Arab oppression, the missionaries of the Church of the East brought the Christian gospel to China as early as the seventh century CE. This article aims to investigate how these strangers in China conveyed the biblical account of Pentecost (Acts 2) to the pluralistic Tang society as the “Luminous” gospel. By analyzing the account of Pentecost in Yishenlun 一神论 (Discourse on the One God), the article argues that, as refugees in Tang China, the missionaries of the Church of the East developed a Chinese theology of refugees and for all refugees in the world. These insights inform the construction of Chinese Pentecostal theology of, by, and for refugees amid the global refugee crisis.
