The Nazarbayev University Library invites you to a book presentation by Dr. Kevin White, Visiting Scholar at NU.
The event will highlight his recent publication, Rediscovery of a Lost History of Central Asian Christianity: Historical Context and Archaeological Evidence (2026), which explores archaeological discoveries revealing a significant pre-Islamic Christian presence in Central Asia.
The research includes the discovery of a Syriac-inscribed stone in East Kazakhstan and the identification of the lost Silk Road city Ilibalyk, offering new insights into the region’s religious and cultural history.
