Although previous explanations may have noted the connections between the cultural substrata and local Pentecostal practices, this book concentrates on seeking out the connections. Using both extensive field research and reflection on Latin American scholarship, the author proposes that a major link exists at the level of worldview assumptions, particularly in understandings of spiritual power. The book concludes with a reflection on the implications a conversion based on the search for spiritual power has for the future of the evangelical church in Latin America.Global Pentecostal and Charismatic studies ;v. 5.PentecostalismArgentinaChristianityArgentinaPower (Christian theology)Electronic books.PentecostalismChristianityPower (Christian theology)289.9/40982Davies Wilma Wells999478MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459740003321The embattled but empowered community2293804UNINA
