Nestorianism, a branch of Christianity, was introduced into China during the reign of Emperor Taizong. Nestorius (c. 386-c. 451), the founder, was condemned for practicing heresy and expelled by the Roman Church in 431. He later died in exile in the deserts of western Egypt. His followers seceded from the Roman Church and started spreading their religion to the east. Olopen (birth and death dates unknown), one of their archbishops, arrived in Chang'an in 635 with his retinue, calling themselves "Nestorians." Emperor Taizong appointed Prime Minister Fang Xuanling (579-648) to welcome them and assigned the imperial library to them to translate their religious scriptures. The government even provided funds for the newcomers to build a church in the capital city. Two other religions, Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, were also introduced into China during the Tang Dynasty. Zoroastrianism originated in Persia, where it was twice established as the state religion. It had been introduced by Suguda merchants entering China in the early 4th century, and was officially recognized in the early Tang Dynasty. Manichaeism had been created by Mani (216-c. 274), a Persian, later banished by the Zoroastrians. After Mani was persecuted to death by the Persian king Bahram I in 277, his followers fled abroad, spreading their religion to many other places. It has been documented that Manichaeism reached the inlands of China as early as the reign of Emperor Gaozong (r. 650-683). Empress Wu, who ruled the Tang Empire from 690 to 705, approved the teachings of Manichaeism as well. 去书内

    聂斯脱利派基督教在唐太宗时期传入中国。聂斯脱利（约386-约415），该派的创始人，因被指控为异端而被罗马教会谴责并驱逐，发生在431年。后来他在埃及西部的沙漠中流亡而。他的追随者从罗马教会分离出来，开始向东方传播他们的宗教。奥尔波恩（出生和死亡日期不详），他们的首席主教之一，635年率领随从到达长安，自称“聂斯脱利派”。唐太宗任命首相房玄龄（579-648）他们，并把皇家图书馆分配给他们，让他们翻译宗教经典。政府甚至为这些新来者提供资金，在首都建造教堂。另外两种宗教，琐罗亚德教和摩尼教，也在唐朝传入中国。琐罗亚斯德教起源于波斯，在那里它曾两次成为国教。早在4世纪初，苏呼德商人进入中国，琐罗亚斯德教就已经传入中国，并在唐朝早期得到官方认可。摩尼教是由波斯人摩尼（216-约274）创立的，后来被琐罗亚斯德教徒驱逐。在摩尼于277年被波斯国王巴赫拉姆一世致死后，他的追随者逃离国外，将他们的宗教传播到许多其他地方。有文献记载，摩尼教早在唐高宗（在位650-683）时期就已经传入中国内地。统治唐朝从690年到705年的武则天也批准了摩尼教的教义
