The Other Side
"This book will stretch you."

Congregations
"Churches in America wishing to expand their work among marginal groups in our society and mission groups seeking a better understanding of religious and social change in Latin America will benefit from this book."

Christianity Today
"What is unique about their approach is not their enthusiasm for the movement but their departure from the standard scholarly practice of compartmentalizing faith when studying religion as a scientist. . . Shaull and Cesar are certainly on to something. Without a doubt, Pentecostalism resonates with the Brazilian poor in a unique way."

Journal of Hispanic and Latino Theology
"This work is a timely and thoughtful reflection that utilizes a careful blend of interviews, participant observation, and theological meditation to probe Pentecostal experiences and practices. . . An invaluable contribution to a scholarly corpus that rarely treats the combined experiential, theological, and social aspects of Pentecostalism, especially in Latin America. This book should have tremendous appeal for readers interested in the changing face of Brazilian religions, as well as confessional scholars seeking ecumenical models for social justice."
