The New Age Gospel: about the Evangelical gnosis in Brazil in the eyes of his acusators

Abstract

At Brazil, since some time, there is a choir of denouncers alerting to a “newerization” of some evangelical universe sectors. They are acusations, mainly from more orthodox theologians, against suspected doutrinary shunting lines coming from US that would be estimulating some gnostic readings about the believer- God relation. This article intends to analyze these acusations to understand the tensions and conflicts between the Brazilian evangelical orthodoxy and some of those detraditionalizing movements that would be introducing those gnostics shunting lines. Key words: Evangelics at Brasil; Gnosticism; New Age; Individualism.
