As'ad al-Shidyaq

As'ad al-Shidyaq (1798–1830) was a Lebanese Protestant Christian cleric and preacher.[1] He was the elder brother of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq.

Originally a Maronite seminary student, Al-Shidyaq was the first Levantine convert to Protestantism as a result of American missionary efforts in the region.[2]
