Abstract

Abstract This article analyzes the history of the origin and development of the Brazilian Evangelical Church (Igreja Evangélica Brasileira)—an example of proto-charismatism in Brazilian Protestantism—founded on September 11, 1879, by Miguel Vieira Ferreira. This denomination arose from a schism of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil and had as its starting point the ecstatic experience of Dr. Miguel’s conversion. The present text screen is part of the broader discussion about the origins of the Protestant Charismatic/Pentecostal movements, claiming a certain originality since their appearance has no connection with the movements that were ongoing in either the United States or Europe. This event will be analyzed in the light of the concept of the “sacred savage” proposed by the French professor Roger Bastide.
