Spiritual bonfire in Argentina

Spiritual bonfire in Argentina

By Daniel Míguez

Book Description

In the bustling suburbs of Buenos Aires, a remarkable spiritual transformation has been quietly reshaping communities and individual lives. This compelling examination takes readers into Villa Eulalia, where the author conducted an in-depth exploration of how Pentecostalism has flourished in Argentina during a period of profound social change.

Through careful analysis of the 1980s structural shifts that swept through Argentine society, this work reveals the complex interplay between spiritual awakening and social circumstances. Rather than accepting conventional explanations for religious growth, the author presents a nuanced investigation that considers political, cultural, and social forces alongside deeply personal spiritual experiences.

The study offers valuable insights into how communities form new identities during times of uncertainty and transformation. By examining real people navigating real challenges in Villa Eulalia, readers gain understanding of how spiritual movements respond to and shape the societies they emerge within.

This thoughtful analysis challenges readers to consider the broader context of spiritual growth, moving beyond individual experience to explore how collective circumstances influence religious expression. For those interested in understanding the relationship between social change and spiritual development, this work provides a fascinating window into how faith communities adapt and thrive amid societal transformation.

The book presents both scholarly rigor and accessible insights into the dynamic nature of contemporary spiritual life in Latin America.
