Afterword, David Martin and Bernice Martin
Martin Lindhardt is associate professor of cultural sociology at the University of Southern Denmark.
This book, which shows how Pentecostalism contributes to the
evolution of religious landscape and how it evolves itself,
confirms the interest of rigorous analyses to overcome many
clichés. [Translated from original French]
*Istina*
Over the past generation, Pentecostalism in Latin America has
undergone fundamental shifts, as it adapts to hemispheric
transformations in class dynamics, generational identities, popular
culture, and politics. This important volume grapples deeply with
these changes, pushing us to understand them in light of new
theoretical insights about conversion, spiritual careers, and the
relationship between religion and society. No scholar or journalist
interested in Pentecostalism in Latin America will be able to
ignore this book.
*John Burdick, Syracuse University*
A much-needed exploration of new trends in the pluralization of
Latin American religious practice. Lindhardt brings together an
impressive array of scholars to explore new Pentecostal and
Catholic identities, theological innovations, and the impact of
second and third generation converts on their churches and society.
The book is a must-read for understanding the complexities of the
ongoing pentecostalization of religion in Latin America.
