New Era – New Religions Religious Transformation in Contemporary Brazil 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

New Era – New Religions examines new forms of religion in Brazil. The largest and most vibrant country in Latin America, Brazil is home to some of the world’s fastest growing religious movements and has enthusiastically greeted home-grown new religions and imported spiritual movements and new age organizations. In Brazil and beyond, these novel religious phenomena are reshaping contemporary understandings of religion and what it means to be religious. To better understand the changing face of twenty-first-century religion, New Era – New Religions situates the rise of new era religiosity within the broader context of late-modern society and its ongoing transformation.
