Description
Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America explores the significant and growing political influence of evangelical Protestant churches throughout Latin America. Taylor C. Boas provides a comprehensive analysis of how evangelical communities mobilize around electoral processes and influence political decisions at local and national levels.
The book examines the theological foundations and organizational structures that enable evangelical political engagement, while also considering how political systems and democratic institutions shape religious participation. Boas challenges assumptions about evangelical monolithic political behavior, revealing diverse strategies and motivations across different national contexts and communities.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork and empirical research, this study demonstrates that evangelicals are not simply passive actors in politics but active agents negotiating their place in democratic societies. The work contributes to broader discussions about religion’s role in contemporary Latin American politics and democratization processes.
