  3. Scottish Religious Cultures

Religion has played a key formational role in the development of Scottish society shaping cultural norms, defining individual and corporate identities, and underpinning legal and political institutions. This series presents the very best scholarship on the role of religion as a formative and yet divisive force in Scottish society and highlights its positive and negative functions in the development of the nation's culture. The impact of the Scots diaspora on the wider world means that the subject has major significance far out with Scotland.

  • Alasdair J. Macleod examines the life and ministry of John Kennedy (1819-84), minister of Dingwall Free Church of Scotland. Drawing on Kennedy's notebooks and published writings, and on source material including unpublished Gaelic poetry, this book explores how Kennedy became the effective leader of the Highland Evangelicals through his preaching, writing and public speaking. Macleod addresses current debate on the divergence in Scottish Evangelicalism and how far Kennedy may have helped to steer the trajectory of Evangelicalism in the Highlands in a conservative direction.
