Latin America has long been strongly identified with the Roman
Catholic Church. Yet the face of religion is changing in the
region, as is evidenced by new landmarks that now appear on the
social and geographic landscape. To date, most books on major
religions in Latin America are specific to one religion only, and
do not offer a comparative analysis. On Earth as It Is in Heaven:
Religion in Modern Latin America not only examines the region's
religious mElange, but also gives equal coverage to other religious
variations. The nine articles in this volume examine the variety of
religious expression in Latin America, focusing upon Catholicism,
popular Indian and African religious forms, and new elements such
as Protestantism and Mormonism. Offering a comprehensive focus on
one of the most prevalent social institutions in Latin American
society, On Earth as It Is in Heaven is an excellent text for
courses in Latin American history, religion, anthropology,
sociology, and political science.
