SILVA, Luis Gustavo Teixeira da. The Process of Building Political Representation in Pentecostal Churches in Brazil (1985-2016). Latinoamérica [online]. 2019, n.69, pp.127-159. ISSN 2448-6914. https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2019.69.57133.
This article aims to discuss the forms of construction of the political representation of the Pentecostals for positions in the Brazilian Legislative Branch. In the first section we analyze the reasons for the political-electoral mobilization of the Pentecostal churches and the process of political authorization by the voters/believers to the candidates of their denominations. In the second section the focus is on the understanding of the peculiar model of political representation built by the Pentecostal churches, through the strategies mobilized for its execution and the relation between representative and represented. Finally, the article undertakes to evaluate the risks of this form of political action of the religions to the Brazilian democracy.
