Murdoch Macaskill

[edit]

He was a well-known Free Church minister. Obituary from 1903: https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000446/19031113/082/0005. It mentions a missionary daughter in Calcutta. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:01, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Schmidt reference

[edit]

Krishna meets Jesus may not look very scholarly, but it appears to be the English translation of a German work [1] by Peter Schmidt from 1999, discussed here. So I take it to be a reliable source. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:27, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
