Description
There are now over 40 million Protestants in Latin America, and the spread there of Evangelical Protestantism since the 1960s from its epicentre in the USA has been a religious and social phenomenon of extraordinary proportions. In "Tongues of Fire" David Martin examines the stages of this spread and looks at the reason for it, taking into account how the religious elements have affected and have been affected by the cultural and political conditions they encountered, in particular the clash between the pacific ideals of personal and cultural development promoted by Protestantism and the ideals of military and of male machismo established in Latin America.
