Abstract

COUTO, Márcia Thereza. Na trilha do gênero: pentecostalismo e CEBs. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2002, vol.10, n.02, pp.357-369. ISSN 1806-9584.

The present study discusses the incorporation of a gender perspective to the study of two religious groups that for the last two decades have called the attention of social scientists in Brasil and in other Latin American countries: the Pentecostal groups and the Comunidades Eclesiais de Base (CEBs). Researching relevant studies about these groups, focusing on gender and poverty, the author argues that, although the effort and coherence of recent research are considerable, the deployment of a gender perspective is still very incipient and deserves closer attention.

Keywords : Gender; Pentecostalism; Christian Base Communities (CEBs).
