Thomas Forsyth Torrance (1913-2007) was one of the foremost Protestant theologians of the 20th-century. He grew up as the child of missionaries who worked with the indigenous Chiang (Qiang) people of Szechuan, along the Chinese-Tibetan border. In the present work Torrance seeks to prove that the Chiang ethnic group are descendants of the ancient Israelites who arrived in China several hundred years before the common era.
