Sommario/riassunto

In recent history, Latin America's religious landscape has been transformed, not only by Pentecostal/Evangelical growth but also by an increasing diversification of Pentecostalism. Moving beyond classical scholarly explanations of why Pentecostalism originally gained a foothold in a Catholic region, the book at hand explores this diversification.
