A breath-taking work on the explosive mix of politics and religion in national life.
In this reportage book, award-winning journalist Andrea Dip investigates the intricate social, political, and mystical structures that sustain the Evangelical Churches' rise to power. Using agile language, she presents important points, such as the alliance of Evangelicals with other conservative sectors (such as the CNBB and the Escola Sem Partido Project), the attack on the rights of identity groups (with so-called "gay cures," "gender ideology," and anti-abortion projects), the occupation of a space vacated by the State, and the use of the media. Furthermore, she seeks to identify, without prejudice, the people who advance the Evangelical project of power, how they organize themselves, and in whose name they raise their banners. Foreword by Marina Amaral and blurb by Fernando Molica.
