Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evangelical Invasion of Brazil: Or a Half Century of Evangelical, Missions in the Land of the Southern Cross South America seems to be coming into her own. The "Neglected Continent" has at last attracted the attention of the world. Formerly, one never saw a magazine article about South American countries and affairs; but within recent years, she has had her share of them. Travelers who formerly knew of only one tourist's route - that which follows the sun - have now learned that certain roads lead north and south; and not a few long to "Round the Horn." This revival of interest, or to be more acurate, this birth of interest has affected the students of Missions, too, and recently, when Dr. Gammon spent a few months in the United States, he was urged by pastors, by leaders of Missions Study Classes, and by the Secretaries of Mission Boards, to prepare a book giving some account of Brazil as a Mission field, and telling the story of "Missions in the Land of the Southern Cross." It was the purpose of Dr. Gammon to prepare a volume which would present not only the work of the Southern Presbyterian Church with which he is connected, but would be serviceable as a text book in the hands of all the denominations now represented in the mission work in Brazil. The time of preparation allowed him being so short, and mission stations in Brazil being distant from each other, it was impossible to secure data as complete as was desired; but the reader will still find that the author's purpose was quite fully realized.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. THEIR HISTORY. In the preceding chapters, something has been said of the land and of the people; now something needs to be said of their history. If it be true, as so many things seem to indicate, that Brazil is destined to become one of the two greatest nations of the Western Hemisphere, no one who takes a broad view of world affairs can fail to be interested in her history from the beginning to the present time. Brazil's history falls naturally into three grand divisions: I. Colonial Brazil, from 1500 to 1822; II. Imperial Brazil, from 1822 to 1889; and III. Republican Brazil, from 1889 to the present. The newly discovered land became a Portuguese possession not so much because it was discovered and reported to Europe by the Portuguese navigator Cabral, but because the eastern shores first discovered lay to the east of an imaginary line, adopted by the Treaty of Tordezillas in 1494, by which Pope Alexander VI. sought to mark the boundary between Spain and Portugal in the lands already discovered and still to be discovered in the New World. This imaginary line was three hundred and seventy leagues west of Cape Verde, and as the shores of Brazil were to the east of the line, the land was a Portuguese possession. The summary-way in which his holiness thought he could dispose of the new lands of a great continent may provoke a smile in thistwentieth century; but it was taken seriously four hun dred years ago, and determined that this land of great extent and wonderful possibilities should receive its blood, its ideals and its language from Lusitanian rather than from Castilian sources. It is amusing now to see the old maps of the colony, showing this line running north and south, following more or less closely the fiftieth degree of longitude west of Greenwi...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evangelical Invasion of Brazil: Or a Half Century of Evangelical, Missions in the Land of the Southern Cross The reader will find the book thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. It furnishes in very brief, yet fascinating form, just the information we want to have about the geography, the natural resources, the history Of the country and the character of the people. It will be specially interesting to the student Of missions as fur mishing a much needed text book upon Missions in Brazil; not confined in its scope to any one denomina tion, it affords the knowledge which very many desire upon the work of all the evangelical denominations there. One special point of' interest about the book is its fair and, dispassionate, yet powerful presentation of the need for missionary work in Brazil, and indeed, in all Roman Catholic countries. Taken all in all, Dr. Gammon fur nishes a strong plea, both for the continuance and wider extension of The Evangelical Invasion of our sister Republic in the South. He thrills us with the story Of what Protestant Missions have already accomplished, and issues a trumpet call to continue and enlarge the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel approach to considering Brazilian Christianity's interplay with global processes from its inception to the present day. It adopts a multi-scalar approach to Brazilian Christianity, linking local grassroots practices and beliefs with processes at the various spatio-temporal levels. These include regional (rural-urban diversification), national (secularization, the radical pluralization of the Christian field, and intensified detraditionalization and retraditionalization) and transnational. Sílvia Fernandes also identifies longue durée dynamics that connect colonial Christianity with current events, including the rise, crisis, and resurgence of Progressive Catholicism, and the election of right-wing populist Jair Bolsonaro with support from a sizable number of Evangelical Protestants and Charismatic Catholics, as well as “traditionalist” Catholics. This book demonstrates that as Christianity enters its third millennium, it is increasingly shaped by churches and movements based in the “Global South” that have transnational and diasporic reach through the circulation of migrants, religious entrepreneurs, pilgrims, and tourists, as well as by the expert use of electronic media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years Brazil’s evangelical community has increased from five to twenty-five percent of the population. This volume’s authors use statistical overview, historical narrative, personal anecdote, social-scientific analysis, and theological inquiry to map out this emerging landscape. The book’s 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 book’s attention is directed toward social expression: the ways in which Brazilian evangelicals are present and active in the common life of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years, incredible changes have taken place in the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. In 1959, on the occasion of its centennial celebrations, this church was acclaimed as the outstanding success story of Protestantism in Latin America; it was hailed for its vitality and for the role it seemed destined to play in the life of that nation. Today, after fifteen years of domination by a small group of reactionary leaders, it has been decimated. The word 'Presbyterian' now calls to mind the destructiveness of religious fanaticism and repression. In 'Protestantism and Repression' Rubem Alves wrestles with the questions, Why did all this happen? What is there in the structure and logic of what he calls 'Right-Doctrine Protestantism, ' that leads to repression under certain historical conditions? His analysis is thorough; his insights, profound; his conclusions, astonishing. I urge you to read this book: whether you fear that our religious institutions are moving toward repression, or are convinced that it can't happen here. --Richard Shaull, from the Foreword An outstanding and internationally recognized Third World theologian, Rubem Alves has in 'Protestantism and Repression' moved from the devastating analysis of the consumer society articulated in 'A Theology of Human Hope' and 'Tomorrow's Child' to a partly autobiographical critique of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, a church in which his roots are deeply imbedded. Alves rigorously documents the transformation of Presbyterianism in Brazil from a liberating force to a bulwark of oppression and repression; and he convincingly establishes as the cause of this deterioration what he calls 'the spirit of the Right-Doctrine Protestantism, ' a socially conditioned neofundamentalism that arrogates to itself absolute knowledge and absolute power. As Richard Shaull stresses in an excellent and most informative Foreword, what has happened in Brazil could happen to North American Protestantism. But the lesson is not only for Protestants. The basic issues as defined by Alves are equally pertinent for Roman Catholics both in Latin America and in the Unites States. --Gary MacEoin Rubem Alves was educated at the Campinas Presbyterian Seminary in Brazil, Union Theological Seminary, New York, and Princeton Theological Seminary. A Presbyterian minister and professor at the University of Campinas in Brazil, Alves is the author of What is Religion?

Book excerpt: Originally published in 2004. In Brazil the liberationist reading of the Bible was once supposed to be an unstoppable force for social change, yet many observers now say that in the era of neo-liberalism the liberationist project may be counted all but dead. In Legacies of Liberation, John Burdick offers a bold new interpretation of the state of the Catholic liberationism. Challenging the claim that it is dead, Burdick carefully builds the case that it continues to exert a major influence on Brazilian society and culture, through its penetration of a broad range of grassroots struggles, especially those having to do with race, gender, and land. Burdick brings to bear on his analysis an understanding of Brazil rooted in twenty years of fieldwork, and a perspective shaped by anthropology, theology and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the European powers, the Dutch were considered the most tolerant of minority religious practices in their colonies. In The Expansion of Tolerance, a pair of historians examines this unusual sensitivity in the case of the seventeenth-century Dutch colonies of Brazil. Jonathan Israel demonstrates that religious tolerance under Dutch rule in Brazil was unprecedented. Catholics and Jews coexisted peacefully with the Protestant majority and were allowed freedom of conscience and unfettered private worship. Stuart Schwartz then considers the Dutch example in light of the Portuguese colonies in Brazil, revealing that the Portuguese were surprisingly tolerant as well. This collaboration will be of interest to anyone studying colonial history or the history of religious tolerance.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1997 study explores one of the most dramatic current interactions between religion and politics: the development of progressive Catholicism in Latin America. In particular, it examines economic, social and religious obstacles to progressive theology in Brazil. This 'popular' church built a utopian vision of social emancipation, drawing on Catholic social thought, humanistic Marxism and existentialism. It was a major democratizing force as Brazil emerged from dictatorship in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, however, the popular appeal of progressive Catholicism came under threat. Focusing on a Catholic community near Rio de Janeiro, Manuel A. Vásquez's incisive study shows how economic and political changes have affected religious practices, and argues that the plight of progressive Catholicism in Brazil forms part of a wider crisis of modernity and of humanist discourses.
