Os mascates da fé
Nesta obra, Lyndon de Araújo Santos revisita os primórdios da implantação do protestantismo no Brasil. O diferencial de sua narrativa está na temática e na ênfase às suas personagens principais, ao deslocar os missionários ou os pastores do protagonismo na prática religiosa protestante. As igrejas, as escolas, as agências missionárias, a imprensa e a disseminação de literatura religiosa foram resultados do envolvimento de homens e de mulheres muitas vezes omitidos em livros de história. Lyndon se atém nas primeiras décadas da Igreja Evangélica Fluminense, mostrando que a história do protestantismo brasileiro não foi feita só por heróis estrangeiros. Os recém-convertido...

Journal of Latin American Theology, Volume 11, Number 2
Journal of Latin American Theology: Christian Reflections from the Latino South Special Issue on the 2015 Sao Paulo Conference on the Occasion of the FTL's 45th Anniversary Vol. 11, No. 2, Fall 2016 This issue of our Journal of Latin American Theology: Christian Reflections from the Latino South brings together some of the most representative papers from the FTL's 2015 continental conference, "45 Years of the FTL and Contemporary Theological Borders," held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Building on the milestones of that past, participants faced the challenges of the present and future. Herein, Brazilian theologians and practitioners offer reflections on the FTL's early days, Pentecostal theology, the intended "irrelevance" of the church, the oral nature of the Gospels, and race relations within church and society. Spanish-speaking theologians and practitioners discuss public theology and the joyful dreams of God the Creator. A presentation of theological poetry rounds out this issue.
Brazilian Evangelicalism in the Twenty-First Century
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.
Religiões e Modernidades
Ao erodir os monopólios tradicionais que organizavam a experiência social e definiam o horizonte das coletividades, a modernidade, sobretudo em sua fase mais tardia, institucionalizou a incerteza em escala planetária na direta proporção em que prodigalizou as condições criativas para respondê-la. Nesse sentido, os estudos que compõem esta obra se dedicam a um fenômeno cuja pluralidade de manifestações são realizações que lidam com as incertezas contemporâneas e com toda a sorte de transformações que obrigam os sujeitos e seus deuses a se “atualizarem”.
Religious Conflict in Brazil
The story of how Brazilian Catholics and Protestants confronted one of the greatest shocks to the Latin American religious system in its 500-year history This innovative study explores the transition in Brazil from a hegemonically Catholic society to a religiously pluralistic society. With sensitivity, Erika Helgen shows that the rise of religious pluralism was fraught with conflict and violence, as Catholic bishops, priests, and friars organized intense campaigns against Protestantism. These episodes of religious violence were not isolated outbursts of reactionary rage, but rather formed part of a longer process through which religious groups articulated their vision for Brazil’s national future.
The Gift
Reveals how gifts of prestige shaped interactions between Africans and Europeans during the era of the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism.
Gender, Sexuality, and the Cold War
As Marko Dumančić writes in his introduction to Gender, Sexuality, and the Cold War, "despite the centrality of gender and sexuality in human relations, their scholarly study has played a secondary role in the history of the Cold War. . . . It is not an exaggeration to say that few were left unaffected by Cold War gender politics; even those who were in charge of producing, disseminating, and enforcing cultural norms were called on to live by the gender and sexuality models into which they breathed life." This underscores the importance of this volume, as here scholars tackle issues ranging from depictions of masculinity during the all-consuming space race, to the vibrant activism of Indian peasant women during this period, to the policing of sexuality inside the militaries of the world. Gender, Sexuality, and the Cold War brings together a diverse group of scholars whose combined research spans fifteen countries across five continents, claiming a place as the first volume to examine how issues of gender and sexuality impacted both the domestic and foreign policies of states, far beyond the borders of the United States, during the tumult of the Cold War.
