本書乃這個全球性課題至今為止的第一部專著。蓋自上世紀二三十年代起，鄂爾多斯地區發現了大量十字架造型的青銅牌符，並且以低價流通於文物市場，從而引起了西方來華傳教士及學者的注意。他們中的一些人認為這些是元代景教遺物。從此，不少有心人士開始大量收藏，一時成為收藏界和學術界熱門的話題。收藏者之中，以英國人聶克遜(F. A. Nixon)與美國人布朗(Mark Brown)為翹楚；學術界方面，有多國著名學者均對此有所探討，包括伯希和(Paul Pelliot)、穆爾(A. C. Moule)、明義士(James M. Menzies)、佐伯好郎(P. Y. Saeki)等等。現今，香港大學美術博物館藏有聶克遜捐贈的這一類文物舊藏近千枚，目前為世界第一。這批文物的發現史、收藏史、著錄史和相關的學術研究歷史，一向乏人問津；而且，從我們初步研究結果看，過去這些方面的從事者，會受到自身的信仰傾向、學術背景的影響，因此不同學者之間的分歧往往很大，未能做到互補長短。本文擬從這些方面入手，探討西方漢學在特定時間之獨特側面，並結合其他文獻、出土文物等相關資料，企圖賦予新的詮釋。我們認為：這批文物未必全屬景教遺存，亦未必全屬元代，蓋其所謂的「十字架」造型，與學術界已認定的唐元景教十字架的圖像(包括壁畫、絹畫和石刻)相差甚遠。而十字符號之文化內涵，源遠流長，即以中國而言，亦可追溯至殷商乃至更早；至於中亞，更毋庸待言。十字或類十字符號之功能，或與上古巫術息息相關，是亦有待將來更深入的探討。
