The shift of the center of gravity in world Christianity from the
Global North to the Global South was arguably the most important
development in the faith during the twentieth century. One of the
most salient dimensions within that broader evolution was the rise
of evangelical Protestantism in Latin America, once a Roman
Catholic stronghold. In the early twenty-first century a high
percentage of Latin America was Pentecostal, but there had also
been significant growth of other denominations, including
Methodists and Baptists. By 2019 an estimated 19 percent of the
population of Latin America identified as evangelicals. The Gospel
in Latin America includes a broad range of studies in the history
of Latin American evangelicalism from experts in the field. Five
chapters address issues affecting the whole of Latin America,
including the relationship of evangelicalism to demography and the
rise of the political ideology of Dominionism. A further five
concentrate on developments in specific nations such as evangelical
intellectual life in Brazil and the forging of evangelical identity
in Argentina. Pentecostalism is included, but space is given to the
full range of religious groups. Politics is not omitted, but the
volume's main concern is the core religious priorities of the
movement associated with the spread of the gospel.
