Abstract
This chapter considers the marked discrepancies in numerical growth among the movements from the early 1960s onward. While the Christian Congregation and Brazilian Assemblies of God chart a similar trajectory through the mid-century mark, thereafter, the former’s expansion tapers, while the latter’s rises steeply. I assess the respective growth rates (change over given timeframe) in view of three phases: initial expansion (from conception to the early 1930s); stable expansion (from the mid-1930s to mid-1960s); and variable expansion (from the late 1960s to 2010). I also consider competing religious markets such as neopentecostalism and the New Calvinism.
