Beyond Borders

By: Miguel Alvarez

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Miguel Álvarez explores significant issues facing Pentecostalism as the movement has grown exponentially all over Latin America in recent decades. He details the pressures of social and political policy that the movement faces as it matures into a strong force in Latin American life and culture. Along the way he discusses the differences between North American and South American Pentecostal theologies of mission as well as the dynamics of neo-Pentecostal mega-churches with their growing popularity and the challenges of other contemporary charismatic movements. Álvarez opens a dialogue among Christians in order to engage social responsibility as presented in the gospel. Scholars, pastors, and laity will benefit from engagement with this timely and significant study.
