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 Drawing on Kennedy's notebooks and published writings, and on source material including unpublished Gaelic poetry, this book explores how Kennedy became the effective leader of the Highland Evangelicals through his preaching, writing and public speaking.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.
Alasdair J. Macleod studied History and English at Glasgow University, graduating M.A. in 2008. He pursued further study in Theology at the Free Church Seminary, and in History at Edinburgh University, from which he graduated with a Ph.D. in 2019. He serves as Minister of Knock & Point Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) on the Isle of Lewis. This is his first book.
