Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813–97), and her sister Sarah Borthwick Findlater (1823–1907), take their place alongside the Englishwomen Catherine Winkworth and Frances Cox as the foremost translators into English of German hymnody. Their volume, Hymns from the Land of Luther (1853, rev. 1884), introduced into Scottish churches the popular theology of Lutheran and Moravian Pietists. Previously, the Reformed distrust of ‘human words’ had limited congregational singing in Scotland to Psalms and Paraphrases; while an Established Church with a heavy investment in social conformity had resisted the Pietist stress on individualist faith. However, with the Disruption and the founding of the Free Church, a space was opened for this profoundly experiential theology of an intimate relationship with Jesus. The Borthwick sisters were instrumental in popularizing in Scotland an evangelical vocabulary of suffering, guilt, desire, and ecstatic consummation, in which there was a natural association between the Christian virtues and the feminine.
