Full Description
This global archival collaboration documents the history of Latin American evangelicalism through the translation of carefully selected primary sources, providing readers with direct access to the perspectives and deliberations of the first generations of evangelicals in Latin America. The documents are framed by substantive introductions from leading scholars within the region, situating local stories and voices within the wider demographic and conceptual transformations reshaping Christianity worldwide. The volume shifts the focus of mission and belief studies away from English-language centered narratives and highlights the complex interplay of local and global forces as they unfold in the lives of the movement's newest members. From accounts of the Pentecostal revival in Chile, to shifting notions of religious liberty in nineteenth-century Nicaragua, to evangelization efforts among Indigenous groups in Ecuador, and the first Spanish-language evangelical newspaper in Argentina, this work offers a deeper look at the nascent effervescence of Latin America's growing religious minority.
