Rev. John Semple of Carsphairn

Biography, Religious History

TDGNHAS Series III, 89 (2015), 69(4.65 MB)

Abstract

John Semple was a revivalist preacher who rose to prominence during the Ulster Revival. Appointed the first parish minister of Carsphairn, he quickly became renowned for his powerful preaching and drew people from far and wide to his communion seasons. He inspired a deep Christian faith and commitment in many who came under his ministry, and his influence helped establish south-west Scotland in its strong Covenanting sympathies. A neglected figure in recent years, it is proposed that he had far more influence on the years of the Covenanting struggles than has been recognised.
