Isaac Leeser's Protest Against Being Misrepresented as a Convert to Christianity

Description

Isaac Leeser writes to Mr. Marcuson, the editor of the *Jewish Chronicle* of New York, to refute a published claim that he converted to Christianity. Leeser vehemently denies the accusation, detailing conversations he had with missionaries where he successfully defended his Jewish faith. He critiques Christian doctrines, particularly the Trinity, and challenges interpretations of biblical passages related to the crucifixion and the brazen serpent. The letter expresses Leeser's deep offense at the false report and his unwavering commitment to Judaism.
