The 1858-62 revival in North East Scotland was the biggest revival in Scottish history. This fascinating study examines the impact of that revival in Aberdeenshire and demonstrates that, contrary to expectations, it was not a uniform movement

Jeffrey shows how the revival manifested itself in different ways in the city of Aberdeen, in the fishing villages, and in the rural hinterland. Unlike previous studies, this book demonstrates the rich diversity of the revival phenomena resulting from the influence of local contexts brought to bear upon its timing and manifestations. An important study for those interested in revival, church history and theology.
