Samuel Schereschewsky: From Jewish Scholar to Missionary Translator Church History
-
- Chrześcijaństwo
In this episode of the Church History Podcast, host Lorelee Siemens delves into the remarkable life of Samuel Schereschewsky, a Jewish man whose journey traversed Russia, Germany, America, China, and Japan, leaving an indelible mark on Church history.
Born in 1831 into a devout Jewish family in Russian Lithuania, Samuel's early life was marked by exceptional intelligence and a deep connection to his Jewish roots.
Despite facing poverty and loss at a young age, Samuel's thirst for knowledge led him to pursue studies in rabbinical school. However, a chance encounter with the New Testament in Hebrew sparked a profound spiritual awakening, leading him to embrace Jesus as the Messiah.
