About This Book

The work traces the development of a Finnish Lutheran revival movement across regions and decades from 1853 to 1900, organizing material by locality, leaders, and phases. It recounts conflicts, schisms, and leadership disputes—especially around a divisive pastor—alongside accounts of deaths and influential clergy. Individual chapters examine Savo, Karelia, northern provinces, and Ostrobothnia, plus theological debates, relations between revivalists and the wider church, and contemporary assessments. The narrative closes with reflections on a late-19th-century resurgence and a retrospective appraisal of how the movement's character changed over time.
