1. Of many possible examples, see Daniel Levine's contributions to Religion and Political Conflict in Latin America, edited by Levine (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina, 1986); and to his Popular Voices in Latin American Catholicism (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1992).

2. Examples include David Stoll, Is Latin America Turning Protestant? (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1990); John Burdick, Looking for God in Brazil: The Progressive Catholic Church in Urban Brazil's Religious Arena (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1993); and Cecilia Mariz, Coping with Poverty: Pentecostals and Christian Base Communities in Brazil (Philadelphia, Pa.: Temple University Press, 1994).

3. Recent statements by members of the Guardia Nacional convicted of the killings acknowledged the Truth Commission's finding that they acted on the orders of senior officers. See “Newsbriefs,” NACLA Report on the Americas 31, no. 6 (May-June 1998):2.

4. Maura Clark and Ita Ford were killed by the Guardia Nacional. Carol Piette drowned in September 1980. The other two women killed in December 1980 were Jean Donovan, a lay missioner, and Ursuline sister Dorothy Kazel.

5. Anna Peterson, Martyrdom and the Politics of Religion: Progressive Catholicism in El Salvador's Civil War (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1996), 179.

6. Berryman makes an important contribution in considering the growing charismatic Catholic movement.

7. Sherman hopes to provide empirical support for David Martin's earlier conclusions in Tongues of Fire: The Explosion of Protestantism in Latin America (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1990).

8. Included in this group are charismatic Catholics, whom Sherman perhaps unfairly calls “hidden converts.”

9. Jorge Serrano, who attempted an auto-golpe in 1993, is also an evangelical.

10. Sherman's framework is based on traditional cultural modernization theory, but other works reviewed here also ask at times whether religious views are “modernizing.”

11. Berryman and others have noted class affinities among different evangelical groups.

12. Berryman and Sherman also highlight the increasing significance of charismatic Catholics.
