The New Israelite; or, Rabbi Shalom on the Shores of the Black Sea

I recently came across a book by Jaakoff Prelooker called The New Israelite; or, Rabbi Shalom on the Shores of the Black Sea. Published in London in 1903, this book tells the fictional story of a Russian Jewish rabbi who becomes a member of the "Christian Dissenter" sect (probably a Baptist or some other "non-conformist" group), or in the parlance of this book, a "new Israelite."

While this novel received some positive reviews, one contemporary called it "propaganda." Like most other conversionist stories, that's exactly what it is.
