An account of the Lewis Revival 1949-52

A. Young

The main focus of this book is the revival on the Isle of Lewis from 1949-1952. The book is divided into two. The first part gives an account of what happened during revival years. There is some background information on religion on Lewis up until that time, which gives us insight into some other revivals on the island, (such as in 1939). The life and ministry of Duncan Campbell (the key figure in this movement) is outlined and we get some of his brief reports of what was going on at the different venues where he visited. There are chapters describing some of the incidents and features of the revival, and we see that even during such times, problems can still arise and opposition can still come. The second half of the book is devoted to a series of personal testimonies – 24 in all- of those who personally experienced the revivals. Some of these are quite thrilling and warm the heart. I would have liked to have seen some more critical analysis on the life and ministry of Duncan Campbell, and the book doesn’t answer all questions that we might ask, such as, why this revival did not spread. Nevertheless, there has been much thorough research done and there is lots of fresh material for us to study. If you are interested in the subject of revival or are keen to explore some of the important happenings in Scottish church history, then I recommend you get hold of this book. I found this to be quite stirring stuff, and I feel it should give us a clearer understanding of how God works in a community. It certainly left me longing for a fresh visitation on the nation from God in these days.
