Grassroots Pentecostalism in Brazil and the United States
This book offers an historical and comparative profile of classical pentecostal movements in Brazil and the United States in view of their migratory beginnings and transnational expansion. Pentecostalism’s inception in the early twentieth century, particularly in its global South permutations, was defined by its grassroots character. In contrast to the top-down, hierarchical structure typical of Western forms of Christianity, the emergence of Latin American Pentecostalism embodied stability from the bottom up—among the common people. While the rise to prominence of the Assemblies of God in Brazil, the Western hemisphere’s largest (non-Catholic) denomination, demanded structure akin to mainline contexts, classical pentecostals such as the Christian Congregation movement cling to their grassroots identity. Comparing the migratory and missional flow of movements with similar European and US roots, this book considers the prospects for classical Brazilian pentecostals with an eye on the problems of church growth and polity, gender, politics, and ethnic identity.
An African Slaving Port and the Atlantic World
This book traces the history and development of the port of Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of people, ideas and crops.

The Churches and Democracy in Brazil
Brazil is a rapidly emerging country. Brazilian theology, namely the Theology of Liberation, has become well known in the 1970s and 1980s. The politically active Base Ecclesial Communities and the progressive posture of the Roman Catholic Church contrasted with a steadily growing number of evangelicals, mostly aligned with the military regime but attractive precisely to the poor. After democratic transition in the mid-1980s, the context changed considerably. Democracy, growing religious pluralism and mobility, a vibrant civil society, the political ascension of the Worker's Party and growing wealth, albeit within a continuously wide social gap, are some of the elements that show the need of ...

Teologia Pentecostal na Harpa Cristã
O uso da música como forma de expressão sempre fez parte da vida humana e, sobretudo, no âmbito religioso. Os hinos congregacionais, aliados ao ensino das escolas bíblicas, servem para inculcar doutrinas a respeito de Deus, de Jesus Cristo, do Espírito Santo, do perdão de pecados, da justiça divina, do juízo e da vida eterna. Hinos com estruturas poéticas e musicais simples expõem, em poucas palavras, as grandes doutrinas da fé cristã. Dividido em três partes: pesquisa histórica, a música como instrumento de evangelização e doutrinamento no cristianismo protestante brasileiro e análise teológica pentecostal clássica - esta obra aborda teologicamente um tesouro do pentecostalismo clássico brasileiro que completou 100 anos de existência: A Harpa Cristã.
