Barreto

interesting for the way it outlines the division amongst evangelicals regarding the Nova Iguacu elections with the Assemblies of God on one side and the IURD on the other [though the author does not explore the possibility of rivalry between the churches]. Use of spiritual warfare language by the Garotinho couple and assistentialism to set up a patron/client relationship ultimately fails. 1
