Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A terra prometida: discursos, práticas e imagens da presença dos batistas brasileiros na Amazônia (1970-1980)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) SANTOS, Catarina Maria Costa dos; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299In this dissertation, speeches, images and practices of Baptists present in the Brazilian Amazon Basin from 1970 to 1980, as recorded in articles from The Baptist Journal and other printed and oral sources, are analyzed from a Social Historical perspective. This study demonstrates that the missionary action of Baptists and their desire to be accepted and expand into newly colonized areas, namely, cities, agricultural villages, and rural towns created along the Transamazon Highway, was benefited in the 1970‟s by the actions of the federal government. Also emphasized is the distinctiveness of the Baptists in relation to other competing religious groups in the Amazon Basin that claimed to support the military dictatorship.
