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 Drawing on Kennedy's notebooks and published writings, and on source material including unpublished Gaelic poetry, this book explores how Kennedy became the effective leader of the Highland Evangelicals through his preaching, writing and public speaking.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.

This is a superb study of the life and times of John Kennedy of Dingwall, eminent Scottish preacher, theologian and church politician. Through extensive research and balanced historical analysis, Alasdair Macleod shows Kennedy's immense influence in shaping and preserving a distinctive Highland Presbyterian evangelical culture in nineteenth-century Scotland.
