Zusammenfassung:Explores the revival and impact of evangelicalism within the Church of Scotland after the Disruption of 1843Locates the chronological development of established evangelicalism within the broader context of British imperialism, German biblical criticism, European Romanticism and Victorian print culture Based on a diverse range of primary sources, including newspapers, magazines, published sermons, personal correspondence, family papers, and General Assembly reports Interacts creatively with a variety of interdisciplinary subfields, including British imperialism, German biblical criticism, European Romanticism, and Victorian print cultureThe Revival of Evangelicalism presents a critical analysis of the evangelical movement in the national Church. It emphasises the manner in which the movement both continued along certain pre-Disruption lines and evolved to represent a broader spectrum of Reformed Presbyterian doctrine and piety during the long reign of Queen Victoria. The author interweaves biographical case studies of influential figures who played key roles in the process of revival and recovery, including William Muir, Norman MacLeod and A. H. Charteris. Based on a diverse range of primary sources, the book places the chronological development of established evangelicalism within the broader context of British imperialism, German biblical criticism, European Romanticism and Victorian print culture
