In recent decades scholars have rediscovered a handwritten source
of historical documentation from the eighteenth-century
transatlantic religious movement known as "The Great Awakening."
The McCulloch Examinations manuscripts contain more than a hundred
first-person conversion narratives from the Cambuslang Revival of
1742 that have never before been published in their entirety.
Collected and compiled by Reverend William McCulloch in what was
Scotland's first oral history project, these personal accounts open
a unique window into the early modern Scottish soul and shed new
light upon an important chapter of British and American history. In
this first complete, unabridged and fully annotated edition of the
Examinations, the editor offers an introduction and analysis of
these fascinating narratives, and provides supplementary resources
that will illuminate the text for the reader. In addition to
preserving the narrative accounts in their original frame, the
edition includes the proposed redactions and marginal comments of
four prominent Church of Scotland clergy who assisted McCulloch
with the project. Keith Edward Beebe is Professor of Church History
in the Department of Theology at Whitworth University, Spokane,
Washington, and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church,
USA.
