This paper examines one of the most important aspects of these social transformations with special emphasis on the autochthonous religious characteristics of Pentecostalism, seeking to interpret them as well as envision future consequences. It will begin with a brief general exploration of the characteristics of Pentecostalism and later with general features of Pentecostalism throughout Latin America, while also considering contributions made from communication and cultural studies. This will provide a background and set a conceptual framework for analyses of the characteristics of Latin American Pentecostal communications."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderLatin AmericanPentecostalCultureTestimoniesCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticArticle
