Glory in the Glen: A History of Evangelical Revivals in Scotland 1880–1940

Description

No nation on earth has a richer, more colourful, and more long-standing heritage of evangelical awakenings than Scotland – yet many are unfamiliar with its dramatic legacy. It is commonly assumed that very few genuine revivals occurred between the Moody & Sankey Revival of 1873-74 and the Lewis Revival of 1949-53 but Tom Lennie reveals that religious awakenings were relatively common in Scotland between these dates – and provides a comprehiensive account of many exciting revivals. “In this fair-minded and thorough book, Tom Lennie has shown that there were evangelical awakenings in many parts of the land down to the inter-war years.”-David Bebbington, Professor of History, University of Stirling, Scotland “…it is not new techniques or new schemes we need… It is what many nineteenth and early twentieth-century Scottish Christians, whose experience of true revival is set forth in this well-documented book, knew: the awesome God of holiness himself draiving near to his people and setting mind and heart ablaze with glorious light. Read—and pray!”-Michael A.G. Haykin, Professor of (Church History, `Hie Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky “….a welcome addition to the literature on the evangelical history of Scotland. He lias researched the sources – both oral and written – thoroughly, and has assessed, the evidence thoughtfully…”-Iain D. Campbell, Free Church of Scotland, Back. Isle of Lewis “an intriguing, judiciously balanced, and often inspiring account of movements of the Holy Spirit in Scotland in a period that we do not normally think of as characterized by revivals. It has encouraged me to pray with new expectancy for God to revive His work among us.”-Douglas F. Kelly, Richard Jordan Professor of Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina “Extensively researched and engagingly written. Tom Lennie is to be commended for bringing to life an element of Scottish church history that has not received the attention it deserves.”-Sandy Finlayson, Professor of Theological Bibliography, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania “I have come through the pages of this book with a prayer forming on my breath again and again: `Gome Lord once more to this land. Visit us with another day of Your Power.'”-Kenny Borthwick, Holy Trinity Church, Wester Hailes, Kdinburgh
