Abstract
This article examines the penetration of Christianity into Central Asia via the Great Silk Road, the stages of its historical development, and its influence on the culture of the region's peoples. Based on archaeological findings and written sources, the author analyzes the dynamics of the spread of various Christian movements, particularly Nestorianism and Jacobitism, from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The research pays special attention to the processes of interfaith dialogue and cultural transformation in the region, providing scientific evidence for Central Asia's historical role as a center of religious tolerance.
