Summary:

Within the last half century the explosive growth of Pentecostalism has turned Catholic Latin America into a region of religious diversity and competition. However, another and more recent source of religious pluralism and diversity in Latin America is an increasing the diversity of Pentecostalism itself, and of the ways in which individual Pentecostals exercise their faith. This book examines important transformation of Pentecostalism, such as an observed de-institutionalization of Pentecostal religious life; theological renewals and new kinds of religious competition between Pertecostal churches; generational dynamics within the movemtn and social and; educational mobility and a growing political and civic engagement of Pentecostals. Catholic responses to Pentecostal competition are also addressed in several chapters of the book. Book jacket.
