Higher Life movement

The Christian theological tradition of Keswickianism became popularized through the Keswick Conventions, the first of which was a tent revival in 1875 at Saint John's Church in Keswick.[1]

The Higher Life movement, also known as deeper Christian life, the Keswick movement or Keswickianism (/ˌkɛzɪˈkiənɪzəm/ KEZ-i-KEE-ə-niz-əm), is a Protestant theological tradition within evangelical Christianity that espouses a distinct teaching on the doctrine of entire sanctification.[2]

Its name comes from the Higher Christian Life, a book by William Boardman published in 1858, as well as from the town in which the movement was first promoted—Keswick Conventions in Keswick, England, the first of which was a tent revival in 1875 and continues to this day.[3][1]
