On January 20, 1994 the worshippers at the Toronto Airport Vineyard
Church began to feel the Holy Spirit move them. They began to laugh
uncontrollably, collapse to the floor, stagger as if drunk. But
what was truly startling in this occurrence now commonly known as
the Toronto Blessing is that these manifestations keep appearing at
the Toronto church and have sparked a worldwide charismatic
revival. Visitors from around the world have come and started
revivals in their home churches upon return. In Main Street
Mystics, Margaret Poloma explains what is happening with this
contemporary charismatic revival without explaining it away. From
her unique position as both a scholar and a pilgrim, Poloma offers
an intimate account of the movement while always attempting to
understand it through the lenses of social science. She looks at
Pentecostalism as a form of mysticism, but a mysticism that engages
Pentecostals and charismatics in the everyday world. With its broad
overview and up-close portraits, Main Street Mystics is essential
for anyone wanting to understand the ever renewing movement of
Pentecostalism.
