"Uma época revolucionária": apropriações do conceito de revolução na Conferência do Nordeste (1955-1962)

Abstract

The Northeast Conference was an ecclesiastical event of great social prominence that took place in Recife in July 1962, where the debate focused on what the evangelical Churches could do in terms of social action in the face of a scenario seen as revolutionary by many at the time. The present research sought to demonstrate that the use of the conference's main title, “Christ and the Revolutionary Process” was both polemical and tactical, aiming primarily to attract the attention of society, re-signifying the way the concept of revolution was used in that period.
