Pehr Brandell

As a young man, he is said to have stopped the festivities at a dance to warn the attendees, comparing the activity to the worship of the golden calf in the Bible.

"[2] He was known for his gripping and extemporaneous revivalist preaching, especially during his time in Nora, Ångermanland, where he served as assistant to Bishop Frans Michael Franzén.

After his death, he was harshly attacked by the Nordisk kyrkotidning, partly for his connection to Scott, who had been forced to leave the country; Franzén came to his defense, referring to him as "the incomparable teacher".

Brandell is also known for his role in the founding of Laestadianism: he made an impact on Milla Clementsdotter, a Southern Sámi woman who had come to Nora to hear his preaching and assuage her doubts.

Clementsdotter would later provide spiritual guidance to a young Lars Levi Laestadius, who had also read about Brandell's revival, leading him to become a revivalist preacher.
