| Summary: | The importation of North American fundamentalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries begat an emerging generation of progressive evangelicals in Latin America. The history of Universidad Bíblica Latinoamericana constitutes the untold story of negotiation for national control of religious institutions and ideologies. These battles at the intersection of the United States and Latin America provide an alternative fundamentalist genealogy and disaggregate monolithic renderings of hemispheric evangelicalism. Seen in this light, the emergence of Latin American evangelicalism is a history of negotiation for managerial control. This article widens the boundaries for studying fundamentalism in the Americas and, in doing so, reveals the diversity, fragility, and resilience of an eclectic coalition known for the first time as the Latin American Evangelical Left. |
