Speaking of Palmer’s work The Jesus Sutras, scholar David Wilmshurst criticized the work as a “…New age fantasy…” and stated that Palmer’s reading of Tang era Nestorian texts and his claim of syncretism of Nestorianism with Eastern religions is inaccurate and misleading. Wilmshurst also states that “As the Sian [Xi’an] Tablet inscription demonstrates, they [the Nestorians in China] were orthodox Christians who pointedly distinguished themselves from both the Taoists and the Buddhists.” Wilmshurst described Palmer’s book as being part of a long conflict between what he termed romantic (making overzealous interpretations) and realist (making more sober interpretations) researchers who have studied Chinese Nestorianism since the discovery of the Xi’an Stele in 1625.
