Latin America is undergoing a period of intense religious transformation and upheaval. This book analyzes some of the more important new discoveries about religious movements in the region. It examines important shifts such as the expansion and politicization of Protestantism, the ongoing transformation of the Catholic church, the growth of Afro-Brazilian religions, and the genuine pluralization of faith.
"...gives us a good sense of how pluralistic the region's religious field has become. This edited volume contains a well-balanced set of case studies dealing with the "usual suspects" - Brazilian CEBs and Pentecostals, for instance - as well as countries and religious traditions that have recieved little attention. Religious StudiesReview, Volume 26, Number 4, Oct 2000."
"Despite its title, this edited volume of collected studies contributed by some of the up-and-coming scholars of religion in Latin America is an outstanding work. It should be read - immediately - by anyone who is interested in religion and modern spirituality." -- The Americas
