Misioneros protestantes, Imperio otomano, Judíos sefardíes, Alexander Thomson, proselitismoResumen
Investigaciones recientes han revelado la historia de la Junta Americana de Comisionados para las Misiones Extranjeras en el Imperio otomano en el s. XIX, escaseando la investigación de sus coetáneos escoceses en estas tierras. Este artículo explora la historia de la misión de la Iglesia Libre de Escocia establecida en Constantinopla tras el famoso cisma Kirk de 1843 con la Iglesia Nacional de Escocia. Este estudio presenta tanto el origen de las dos principales estaciones de esta iglesia, localizadas en Gálata y Hasköy, dedicadas a la conversión de los judíos de Constantinopla, principalmente sefardíes, así como también las estrategias de proselitismo de los misioneros y los resultados de su obra religiosa. Finalmente, este estudio nos presentará el alcance de la misión en cuanto al número de posibles conversiones y su recepción en la comunidad judía.
