Previous studies of revival have tended to approach these remarkable moments in history from either a strictly local or a sweeping national perspective In so doing they have dealt with either the detailed circumstances of a particular situation or the broader course of events These approaches however have given the incorrect impression that religious awakenings are uniform movements As a result revivals have been misunderstood as homogeneous campaigns This is the first study of the 1859 revival from a regional level in a comprehensive manner It examines this movement arguably the most significant and farreaching awakening in modern times as it appeared in the city of Aberdeen the rural hinterland of northeast Scotland and among the fishing villages and towns that stretch along the Moray Firth It reveals how far from being unvarying the 1859 revival was richly diverse It uncovers the important influence that local contexts brought to bear upon the timing and manifestation of this awakening Above all it has established the heterogeneous nature of simultaneous revival movements that appeared in the same vicinity
