The Churches and Democracy in Brazil

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of Brazilian theology, particularly the Theology of Liberation, in response to the country's dynamic political landscape. It highlights the interplay between the Roman Catholic Church and the rising evangelical movements, especially during the transition to democracy in the 1980s. Advocating for a new, ecumenical public theology, it draws on Lutheran principles to emphasize human dignity, citizenship, and political engagement. The work aims to guide churches in their societal contributions while fostering critical and constructive theological discourse.
