This labour of love (p. vi), as Bebbington describes it, provides a convincing corrective to a myriad of careless generalizations about revivals. This monograph is a model of careful, in-depth, and insightful scholarship and will undoubtedly inspire further work in this field. Joanna Cruickshank, Deakin University.
