"Rev. Benjamin Schneider, D.D. A missionary of the Reformed Church in the United States through the American Board at Broosa and Aintab, Turkey 1834-1877. Benjamin Schneider (1807-1877) started his missionary work in Turkey with his newlywed wife Eliza. Together they experienced all the difficulties and hardships while dealing with the local authorities’ abuse and persecution. In 1845, Eliza wrote a book about their work – “Letters from Broosa, Asia Minor.”

"Although it appears to have been written by a materialist rather than an artist or a believer, Letters is a valuable text. It reveals the missionary activities of the West and the perspective of the “eye” in question, while inviting us on a “quantitative” journey to 19th-century Bursa. The issue is who is a believer and who is an infidel in this Ottoman city." Dergah Yayınları
