Publisher's Description
This volume studies Pentecostalism in Latin America as a broad, diverse, and multifaceted movement. It describes different features and colors that together shape its collective face. This is done from context to context, weaving in various relationships with society and politics. Pentecostalism is situated as a collective actor embedded in a changing reality that blends various streams for theological reflection. The book explains how Pentecostals in Latin America connect to the topic of God's mission in the world today.

“From the Global South comes an exceptional academic reference on integral mission in Latin America with the scope and cutting-edge of Bosch’s Transforming Mission. Alvarez builds on the spiritual potential and incipient social services of Pentecostalism, the community-centered Spirit-filled poor ministering to the poor. With humble boldness he offers theological foundations for a Pentecostal integral missiology in dialogue with Evangelicals, WCC, and Roman Catholics on social responsibility, solidarity, political participation, and the common good. Emerging Pentecostal generations are challenged to discover the socio-economic dimensions of the whole gospel and to train disciples to become agents of social transformation.”
“of Pentecostalism as actor of change in the social and political contexts of religious thinking in Latin America. He discuses the prophetic role of Latino Pentecostalism in a globalized world where people are turning to God in the midst of crisis. This study is filling a vacuum in the discussion of global mission. Pentecostals are now present and sharing substantial ideas in behalf of holistic transformation of contemporary societies. Alvarez work is welcomed at the Red Latinoamericana de Estudios Pentecostales (Latin American Network of Pentecostal Studies). We recommend his work to the international community that studies mission theology.”
