"This book makes a two-fold contribution. In its first part, it makes a convincing case for differentiating between different 19th-century American-Jewish approaches to the phenomenon of Christianity and Chistian mission to the Jews. In its second part, it brings together and makes available to the modern student some very interesting 19th-century materials to which most modern readers would other wise have no access." — Jakob J. Petuchowski, Hebrew Union College
