About This Book

A chronological study traces the development and internal conflicts of a Finnish evangelical revival movement between 1845 and 1852, emphasizing regional differences and leadership dynamics. It surveys press controversies and doctrinal debates, describing reactions to influential pamphlets and the polemical exchanges that continued after earlier ruptures. Separate chapters examine the movement's manifestations in Ostrobothnia, Karelia, Savo, Häme, Satakunta, Kainuu and southern regions, treating pastoral care, devotional literature and local schisms. The work profiles leading figures, outlines shifting loyalties among clergy, and considers bishops' stances before concluding with an account of the tensions that presaged a major division in 1852.
