Johann Christian Meyer. Die Gestalt eines glaubigen Juden vor, in und nach seiner Bekehrung : zu verhoffentlicher Erbauung redlicher Gemuether nach den Zeugnissen der Heiligen Schrift und eigener Erfahrungen entworffen.

Johann Christian Meyer’s account of his conversion from Judaism to Protestantism, along with his wife, in 1747. Organized in three chapters, the first is a detailed account of the belief and customs of a faithful Jew before his conversion; the second describes the inner struggle of conversion; and the third chapter is dedicated to his thoughts after the conversion. The account is a thorough portrayal of the religious doubts and reasoning which went along with the conversion with deep and sympathetic insights into both belief systems.
