Jones, The Revival of Evangelicalism: Mission and Piety in the Victorian Church of Scotland.

The article focuses on a study of evangelical members of the Church of Scotland who remained after the 1843 Disruption, when many left to form the Free Church of Scotland. It highlights the roles of three key figures—William Muir, Norman MacLeod, and Archibald Charteris—in revitalizing the established church amid Scotland's modernization. The study draws on sociological and theological frameworks from historians Callum Brown and David Bebbington, particularly Bebbington's definition of evangelicalism emphasizing conversion, social activism, scripture, and Christ's sacrifice. While the work addresses important themes of conservatism, romanticism, and democratization within the church, it is critiqued for its narrow focus and insufficient exploration of broader issues such as sectarianism, colonialism, and the Free Church's decline. The study contributes to nineteenth-century Scottish ecclesiology but leaves several questions about the church's wider social and political impact unanswered.
