Summary:

"Suomen herännäisyyden historia XIX:llä vuosisadalla IV. 1853-1900" by Mauno Rosendal is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the Finnish spiritual awakening movement, specifically focusing on its development in the 19th century, particularly between the years 1853 and 1900. It delves into various facets of this movement, highlighting key figures, events, conflicts, and divisions within the faithful community. The opening of the work discusses the challenging transitional period that the herännäisyys movement faced following pivotal events in the 1850s. It specifically highlights the struggles of N. K. Malmberg, a significant leader within the movement, as he grapples with personal attacks and disputes from both adherents and dissenters. During this time, deeper divisions arose among the followers, particularly between Malmberg's supporters and those who departed from his interpretations. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the tensions within the community, emphasizing the emotional and doctrinal battles that characterized the herännäisyys movement in this era of turmoil.
