Carl Schwartz

Dr August Ferdinand Carl Schwartz (1817–1870) was a leading Hebrew Christian clergyman and minister of the Free Church of Scotland in Amsterdam, then Free Church minister in London.
He was father of the Dutch novelist Maarten Maartens, the pen-name of Jozua Schwartz.
Carl Schwartz converted to Christianity while at University. Schwartz was minister of Trinity Chapel, in Newnham Street (earlier John Street) off the Edgware Road. There he succeeded the previous minister, Ridley Herschell. Schwartz in 1865 sent letters to many Christians of Jewish origin known to him, calling for a united Hebrew Christian congregation.
