This rather academic book is part of a series entitled Studies in Evangelical History and Thought, and deals with the relationship between British Evangelicalism and the Francophone Réveil (Revival) in the period stretching from 1816 to 1849.
The oversimplified myth is that the Scotsman Robert Haldane arrived in Geneva in 1816 and through studying the Epistle to the Romans with a group of young theological students from the increasingly liberal Swiss Reformed Church set in motion what was to be called the Réveil.
