Title: Born again in Brazil
First published: 1997
Description: "Outstanding history of growth of Pentecostal churches in Belém, Pará, 1910-93, focuses on Assemblies of God. Based on church administrative documents and interviews with converts, work stresses experience of faith cures of socially and biologically 'sick' slum dwellers as major motive for conversions. Also discusses church leaders in politics. Superb first-person accounts of spiritual experience make this an excellent introduction to Latin American Pentecostalism for students"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
