Getting in touch with the theme Pentecostalism and politics, object of this issue, aims to show that in recent years Pentecostalism, came to occupy a prominent place in academic research. Here then, we are presenting important reflections about this reality through the papers sent by writers from different areas of research in religion studies field. We are thankful by the effort made by the authors and peer reviewers. This work has given us the great experience of interacting with several researchers on the theme of Pentecostalism and its relationship with politics.

In the papers presented here, the authors brought an expanded discussion about the reality of the Pentecostalism and politics themes, not only with quantitative data, but pondering, qualitatively, the conclusions related to the phenomenon. The scientific productions listed highlight provocative questions about Pentecostalism in its marginalized beginning, and, currently, considered as an increasingly dynamic, and complex reality full of determinations. which challenge us with increasingly daring demands within the public space.
