- Title
Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America: A Kingdom of This World. Taylor C. Boas.
- Authors
Knoll, Travis
- Abstract
The first document, "Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America: A Kingdom of This World" by Taylor C. Boas, explores the growth and electoral influence of evangelicals in Latin America. The study suggests that evangelical turnout is driven by threats to their interests and worldview, rather than a simple "brother votes for brother" relationship. The book also challenges existing views on religious minorities and draws on comparative case studies in Brazil, Chile, and Peru to analyze the factors that contribute to evangelical success in elections. The second document, "The Mormon Military Experience: 1838 to the Cold War" by Sherman L. Fleek and Robert C. Freeman, provides a comprehensive account of the military history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It highlights the unique role of the Saints in forming military forces that were a part of the Church and explores the shift in the Church's position on war and peace in the 1890s. The book documents the involvement of Saints in various wars, including World War II, and examines the reasons behind the Church's support for war efforts.
