State, Church and tax immunity

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the historical intertwining of religion and state in Brazil, tracing back to the colonial era when religious movements aligned with the Portuguese Crown's interests. It highlights how this alliance has evolved but continues to influence Brazilian society, leading to the troubling phenomenon of the "Commerce of Faith." The narrative critiques the current religious landscape, arguing that it prioritizes state-sanctioned benefits over genuine social concerns and the essence of the gospel, calling for a return to the core values of faith and community service.
