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.
