Recenzje

"...gives us a good sense of how pluralistic the region's religious field has become. This edited volume contains a well-balanced set of case studies dealing with the "usual suspects" - Brazilian CEBs and Pentecostals, for instance - as well as countries and religious traditions that have recieved little attention. Religious Studies Review, Volume 26, Number 4, Oct 2000."
"Despite its title, this edited volume of collected studies contributed by some of the up-and-coming scholars of religion in Latin America is an outstanding work. It should be read - immediately - by anyone who is interested in religion and modern spirituality." -- The Americas
