herätysliikkeiden
Herätysliikkeiden refers to a broad category of religious revival movements that have emerged in Finland. These movements are predominantly within the Lutheran tradition and emphasize personal piety, spiritual awakening, and often a return to what they perceive as core biblical teachings. While distinct in their origins and specific doctrines, they share a common emphasis on the importance of an individual's conscious decision to accept faith and experience a spiritual rebirth.
