ORO, Ari Pedro. Brazilian evangelical transnationalization towards Europe: meanings, typology, and accommodations. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.5-25. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.6229.

This article aims to examine the transnationalization of Brazilian evangelical churches that many decades ago accomplish the “reverse mission” to Europe. We analyze the meanings linked to this process, we suggest a typology of religious transnationalization composed of four different models, and finally we explain the dynamics and practices undertaken by these Brazilian churches to overcome cultural differences and to adapt to the European cultures.

Keywords : religious transnationalization; evangelical churches; Pentecostalism; Europe.
