| Sumario: | This article aims to transcend the antagonist position (friend-enemy) and the agonist (adversarial) perspective when viewing Evangelical-socialist history. It incorporates two social dimensions that in the past have been considered contrary or purely instrumental—religion and politics—through the concept of synergism. As a case study, we highlight linkages between Socialism and Methodism in Chile, as well as Methodism’s later contributions to Chilean politics. The article sheds light upon a social and political historical reality that today is almost unknown in the Evangelical and the political worlds, especially in Latin America. |
