Description
Summary:Some forms of evangelical and pentecostal Protestantism that could be described as “popular” have grown significantly in Latin America during the most recent decades. Social scientists and church leaders have been studying and interpreting the phenomenon, sometimes making use of conspiracy theories. Missiologists seem to have more adequate keys to understand it. This article provides a brief historical background from an evangelical perspective, and considers the missiological lessons that can be learned from this dynamic movement, using especially the insights of three Catholic missiologists who work as missionaries in Latin America.
