{"product_id":"evangelical-christianity-and-democracy-in-latin-america-9780195308037","title":"Evangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America","description":"In Latin America, evangelical Protestantism poses an increasing challenge to Catholicism's long-established religious hegemony. At the same time, the region is among the most generally democratic outside the West, despite often being labeled as 'underdeveloped.' Scholars disagree whether Latin American Protestantism, as a fast-growing and predominantly lower-class phenomenon, will encourage a political culture that is repressive and authoritarian, or if it will have democratizing effects. Drawing from a range of sources, \u003cem\u003eEvangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e provides case studies of five countries: Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. The contributors, mainly scholars based in Latin America, bring first hand-knowledge to their chapters. The result is a groundbreaking work that explores the relationship between Latin American evangelicalism and politics, its influences, manifestations, and prospects for the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvangelical Christianity and Democracy in Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e is one of four volumes in the series \u003cem\u003eEvangelical Christianity and Democracy in the Global South\u003c\/em\u003e, which seeks to answer the question: What happens when a revivalist religion based on scriptural orthodoxy participates in the volatile politics of the Third World? At a time when the global-political impact of another revivalist and scriptural religion - Islam - fuels vexed debate among analysts the world over, these volumes offer an unusual comparative perspective on a critical issue: the often combustible interaction of resurgent religion and the developing world's unstable politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Freston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.23w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195308037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39930748928115,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c428f75b-0793-4447-840d-1a17ce3fd92c.jpg?v=1647699008","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/evangelical-christianity-and-democracy-in-latin-america-9780195308037","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
