Billy Graham was a world-famous Christian evangelist in the twentieth century. He visited Scotland in 1955 and led a six-week campaign that included a series of events held at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow. Hundreds of thousands of people attended these rallies and many were converted. This paper will discuss how Billy Graham employed the danger of nuclear war during these meetings in his Gospel appeals. It will examine critically the sermons he preached in order to determine how he used this threat of crisis in order to generate spiritual anxiety and encourage people to be ‘born again’ during the All Scotland Crusade.

The ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement has raised critical awareness of how concepts of race have shaped history. In the context of mission history, this has prompted critical reflection on encounters with the Global South at the intersection of colonial assumptions of the superiority of Western culture and race and the underlying belief in the value of all human beings that drove Christian mission. A simple bifurcation of mission into these impulses, however, oversimplifies the dynamic interplay between the two and fails to adequately gauge how this changed over the longer durée, leaving an unsatisfactory and unresolved polarity. This article re-examines the career of the Scottish missionary Alexander Hetherwick of Blantyre to locate how concepts of race within his thought and action changed throughout a career that spanned the shift of the region from mission field to integrated protectorate within the empire, significantly shaping the formation of modern Malawi.

This paper describes and analyses the means by which the stipends of the established church’s ministers in Scotland’s capital city were financed from the time of the Reformation to the passing of the Church of Scotland (Property and Endowments) Act in 1925. Offering a preliminary calibration with commentary on the operation of the ministerial labour market, it throws new light on our understanding of the established church functioning as a business organisation, at a time when it was highly influential in the political, economic, social and religious life of the nation.
