Baguio City, Philippines: Asia Pacific Theological Seminary Press, 2020. 188 pp. $13.99 paperback; $37.97 hardcover. ISBN-13: 978-1725294219. In the past twenty years of academic study of global Pentecostalism, the recent spiritual ferment, for example, North American neo- charismatic revivalism, seems presently unclear and understudied. Against the backdrop of misinformation about North American neo- charismatic revivalism, Lora Angelina Embudo Timenia explores the form of contemporary revivalism connected to the phenomenon dubbed the “Toronto Blessing,” which first occurred on January 20, 1994, at Catch the Fire Church in Toronto, Canada (1). Covering the origins of North American neo-charismatic revivalism is far more than just an ambitious academic undertaking. The author, however, shows the substantial challenge and importance of understanding the “Toronto Blessing” as an independent stream of North American neo-charismatic revivalism that has become a synonym for scriptural literalism and esoteric forms of spirituality that have been making inroads in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines (2). To break it all down, the book is divided into eleven chapters. The first chapter offers the importance and purpose of the subject matter. Using historical data to track the Toronto Blessing revivalist of the movement (TB), the author gives the historical and theological background of the TB revivalist movement, including how its doctrine and spiritual practices, for instance, holy laughter, visions and trances, miraculous healing, odd physical manifestations, and claims of revitalized spirits spearheaded the Philippine islands. Chapters two to five introduce the review literature that will help construct a historical and socio-religious backdrop for understanding TB revivalism’s signs and wonders theology from the Filipino perspective. Chapter six presents the methodology, explanations of the research design and approach, the population, sample and sampling procedures, data collection methods, and data analysis used during the study. Chapter seven presents the interview data from research participants. Using historical context in analysis and interpretation, the author follows a stringent pattern focusing on the emergence and dynamics of North American and Filipino revivalist movements in their local and international contexts at a specific time or period. The author is particularly interested in continuity and discontinuity as she examines
