Abstract
It is perceptible that Brazil’s religious conquest has not yet been completed. We intend to demonstrate that the advance of Pentecostalism in the Amazon is due to several factors, one of which led lay people to exercise a leading role in the tasks necessary for the growth of the doctrine. In the North, the revival behavior found resonance in the cabocla pajelança focused on the issue of healing, resulting in what we call caboclo Pentecostalism. Based on Galvão (1955); Wagley (1955); Maués (2005) and Zeferino (2021), questioning the caboclo category as a result of hybridizations, we apply the use of the term to the Amazonian religious field. We conclude that the absence of instruments capable of explaining the field's specificities compromises its understanding and generates the need for studies on the phenomenon of the sacred in the Amazonian Pentecostal world.
