Böcker av Lora Angeline Embudo Timenia

With this book, Lora Timenia provides the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement with critically-needed tools and wise counsel for evaluating unusual spiritual experiences and phenomena. Her sympathetic yet critical analysis of four influential proponents of the Toronto Blessing revivalism in the Philippines is marked by careful research, informed analysis, and a pastoral heart. Timenia's detailed research and insightful evaluation is communicated in clear language and marked by an irenic spirit. Her ability to instruct and her desire to edify shines through on virtually every page. The result is a book that not only offers valuable counsel for the burgeoning charismatic churches of the Philippines, but one that also provides much-needed pastoral perspective for the global Pentecostal movement. Robert P. Menzies - From the Foreword This book makes a valiant effort to take up the big questions of discerning signs and wonders in the Pentecostal Third Wave ferment in the Philippines that involves multiple perspectives and contextual variables, while providing insight into at least one expression of a classical Pentecostal set of theological commitments that is dynamically evolving the Philippines milieu. This volume signals another much needed step in the emergence of a Pentecostal theological academy in Asia. At the same time, it is also a bold and expansive first book by a new author that heralds significant breakthroughs on the global scholarly horizon to mature.
