Why read it?
1 author picked American Apostles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Besides captives, missionaries were another major group of Americans who visited the Mediterranean. They worked in the Middle East (Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey) in what was, at least initially, a fairly futile effort to convert residents to Protestantism.
Heyrman does a fantastic job of humanizing two young missionaries and probing their views of the locals and of Islam. As a bonus, she’s written a follow-up describing a romantic triangle among the missionaries (Doomed Romance: Broken Hearts, Lost Souls, and Sexual Tumult in 19th-Century America).
From Lawrence's list on experience the Mediterranean like a 19th-century American.
