ALGRANTI, Joaquín; CARBONELLI, Marcos  e  MOSQUEIRA, Mariela. What’s new in the evangelical world? Quantitative approaches to the beliefs, practices and representations of evangelicals in Argentina. Soc. relig. [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.55, pp.61-61. ISSN 0326-9795.

The aim of the article is to quantitatively describe the beliefs, practices and representations of evangelicals in Argentina. We analyze three fundamental features of this religious group with the data constructed in the “Second National Survey of Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina” . The first refers to Evangelical’s sociodemographic features, the second comprehends their belief system and consumer practices. Finally, the third one includes their position regarding controversial topics, representations about the State and health issues. Each of these aspects is approached based on six variables: age, gender,socioeconomic level, educational level, region of residence and city of residence’s size. Thus, the paper offers a quantitative characterization of the evangelical world today on a national scale.
