Brazilian Evangelicalism in the Twenty-First Century

Over the past fifty years Brazils evangelical community has increased from five to twenty-five percent of the population. This volumes authors use statistical overview, historical narrative, personal anecdote, social-scientific analysis, and theological inquiry to map out this emerging landscape. The books thematic center pivots on the question of how Brazilian evangelicals are exerting their presence and effecting change in the public life of the nation. Rather than fixing its focus on the interior life of Brazilian evangelicals and their congregations, the books attention is directed toward social expression: the ways in which Brazilian evangelicals are present and active in the common life of the nation.
