Daniel Dow

Daniel Dow was an eighteenth-century Scottish theologian whose devotional writings, particularly *The Duty of Praying*, contributed to the broader evangelical revival movement within Scottish Presbyterianism. His work emphasized the centrality of prayer in Christian practice during a period of theological transition between Reformed scholasticism and emerging evangelical piety. Dow's theological output reflected the concerns of moderate Presbyterian circles in Scotland, where questions of religious experience and pastoral practice were increasingly contested.
