520    In "American Apostles," the Bancroft Prize-winning 
       historian Christine Leigh Heyrman brilliantly chronicles 
       the first fateful collision between American missionaries 
       and the diverse religious cultures of the Levant. Pliny 
       Fisk, Levi Parsons, and Jonas King became the founding 
       members of the Palestine mission and ventured to Ottoman 
       Turkey, Egypt, and Syria, where they sought to expose the 
       falsity of Muhammad's creed and to restore these bastions 
       of Islam to true Christianity. Not only among the first 
       Americans to travel throughout the Middle East, the 
       Palestine missionaries also played a crucial role in 
       shaping their compatriots' understanding of the Muslim 
       world. "American Apostles" brings to life evangelicals' 
       first encounters with the Middle East and uncovers their 
       complicated legacy. The Palestine mission held the promise
       of acquainting Americans with a fuller and more accurate 
       understanding of Islam, but ultimately it bolstered a more
       militant Christianity, one that became the unofficial 
       creed of the United States over the course of the 
       nineteenth century. The political and religious 
       consequences of that outcome endure to this day.
