Book Synopsis New Ways of Being Pentecostal in Latin America by : Martin Lindhardt
Download or read book New Ways of Being Pentecostal in Latin America written by Martin Lindhardt and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive growth of Pentecostalism has radically transformed Latin America’s religious landscape within the last half century or so. In a region where Catholicism reigned hegemonic for centuries, the expansion of Pentecostalism has now resulted in a situation of religious pluralism and competition, bearing much more resemblance to the United States than to the Iberian motherlands. Furthermore, the fierce competition from Pentecostal churches has inspired significant renewals of Latin American Catholicism, most notably the growth of a Catholic Charismatic movement. However, another and more recent source of religious pluralism and diversity in Latin America is an increasing pluralization and diversification of Pentecostalism itself and of the ways in which individual Pentecostals exercise their faith. By carefully exploring this diversification, the book at hand breaks new ground in the literature on Latin American Christianity. Particular attention is focused on new ways of being Pentecostal and on the consequences of recent transformations of Christianity for individuals, faith communities and societies. More specifically, the chapters of the book look into certain transformations of Pentecostalism such as: theological renewals and new kinds of religious competition between Pentecostal churches; a growing political and civic engagement of Pentecostals; an observed de-institutionalization of Pentecostal religious life and the negotiation individual Pentecostal identities, composed of multiple intra- and extra-ecclesial points of identification; and the emergence of new generations of Pentecostals (children of Pentecostal parents), many of whom have higher levels of education and higher incomes than the previous generations within their churches. In addition, Catholic responses to Pentecostal competition are also addressed in several chapters of the book.
Book Synopsis Power, Politics, And Pentecostals In Latin America by : Edward L Cleary
Download or read book Power, Politics, And Pentecostals In Latin America written by Edward L Cleary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today over forty million Latin Americans classify themselves as Protestant, of which the overwhelming majority belong to some form of Pentecostalism. The rapid dissemination of Pentecostal beliefs has produced vibrant alternatives to traditional dominant culture and changed relations within the family, locality, and workplace. This volume introduces broad issues in the Pentecostal movement, including gender relations, political power and organization, and inter-Pentecostal and ecumenical relations. These themes are then examined more specifically in the country case studies, which address the historical foundations of the Pentecostal movement, patterns of and explanation for its growth, and the consequences of its expanding presence, including increased political influence.

Book Synopsis The Rise of Charismatic Catholicism in Latin America by : Edward L. Cleary
Download or read book The Rise of Charismatic Catholicism in Latin America written by Edward L. Cleary and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Latin America in the twenty-first century is no longer the way we have always imagined it, and nowhere are the region’s vast changes more evident than in the field of religion. Ed Cleary brings his readers into the churches and communities of Latin America to introduce them to the Catholic Charismatic Movement, the biggest and most important religious shift taking place in the region in recent decades."--Kenneth P. Serbin, University of San Diego Much has been made of the dramatic rise of Protestantism in Latin America. Many view this as a sign that Catholicism’s primacy in the region is at last beginning to wane. Overlooked by journalists and scholars has been the parallel growth of Charismatic, or Pentecostal, Catholicism in the region. Edward Cleary offers the first comprehensive treatment of this movement, revealing its importance to the Catholic Church as well as the people of Latin America. Catholic Charismatics have grown worldwide to several hundred million, among whom Latin Americans number approximately 73 million participants. These individuals are helping the church become more extroverted by drawing many into evangelizing and mission work. The movement has rapidly acquired an indigenous Latin American character and is now returning to the United States through migration and is affecting Catholicism in the United States. Cleary has witnessed firsthand the birth and maturing of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Latin America as both a social scientist and a Dominican missionary. Drawing upon important findings of Latin American scholars and researchers, he explores and analyzes the origins of the most important Catholic movement in Latin America and its notable expansion to all countries of the region, bringing with it unusual vitality and notable controversy about its practices. Edward L. Cleary, professor of political science and director of the Latin American studies program at Providence College and visiting scholar at Stanford University, has authored or edited eleven books, most recently Conversion of a Continent: Religious Change in Latin America.
Book Synopsis Integral Mission by : Miguel Alvarez
Download or read book Integral Mission written by Miguel Alvarez and published by Wipf & Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume studies Pentecostalism in Latin America as a broad, diverse and multifaceted movement. It describes different features and colors that together shape its collective face. This is done from context to context, weaving various relationships with society and politics. Pentecostalism is situated as a collective actor embedded in a changing reality that blends various streams for theological reflection. The book explains how Pentecostals in Latin America connect to the topic of God's mission in the world today. From the Global South comes an exceptional academic reference on integral mission in Latin America with the scope and cutting-edge of Bosch's Transforming Mission. Alvarez builds on the spiritual potential and incipient social services of Pentecostalism, the community-centered Spirit-filled poor ministering to the poor. Sherron George, Presbyterian pastor, professor, missiologist and writer, Brazil This study is filling a vacuum in the discussion of global mission. Pentecostals are now present and sharing substantial ideas in behalf of holistic transformation of contemporary societies. Bernardo Campos, director of the Elijah Institute for the extension of the Kingdom, Peru. Founding Member of la Red Latinoamericana de Estudios Pentecostales-RELEP Alvarez makes a quantum leap forward in the effort to articulate a Pentecostal missiology from a Latin American perspective. Philip Wingeier-Rayo, associate professor of evangelism, mission, and Methodist studies at Austin Theological Seminary, Austin, Texas Miguel Alvarez (PhD Oxford Centre for Mission Studies) is a missionary from Honduras. He is associate representative of Superbook at the Christian Broadcasting Network, Director of Hispanic Ministries for the Church of God in the State of Virginia and Adjunct Professor of Theology and Mission at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Book Synopsis Latino Pentecostal Identity by : Arlene Sánchez Walsh
Download or read book Latino Pentecostal Identity written by Arlene Sánchez Walsh and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the thirty-seven million Latinos living in the United States, nearly five million declare themselves to be either Pentecostal or Charismatic, and more convert every day. Latino Pentecostal Identity examines the historical and contemporary rise of Pentecostalism among Latinos, their conversion from other denominations, and the difficulties involved in reconciling conflicts of ethnic and religious identity. The book also looks at how evangelical groups encourage the severing of ethnic ties in favor of spiritual community and the ambivalence Latinos face when their faith fails to protect them from racial discrimination. Latinos are not new to Pentecostalism; indeed, they have been becoming Pentecostal for more than a hundred years. Thus several generations have never belonged to any other faith. Yet, as Arlene M. Sánchez Walsh articulates, the perception of adherents as Catholic converts persists, eliding the reality of a specific Latino Pentecostal population that both participates in the spiritual and material culture of the larger evangelical Christian movement and imprints that movement with its own experiences. Focusing on three groups of Latino Pentecostals/Charismatics—the Assemblies of God, Victory Outreach, and the Vineyard—Sánchez Walsh considers issues such as the commodification of Latino evangelical culture, the Latinization of Pentecostalism, and the ways in which Latino Pentecostals have differentiated themselves from the larger Latino Catholic culture. Extensive fieldwork, surveys, and personal interviews inform her research and show how, in an overwhelmingly Euro-American denomination, diverse Latino faith communities—U.S. Chicano churches, pan–Latin American immigrant churches, and mixed Latin American and U.S. Latino churches—have carved out their own unique religious space.
