Abstract

The aim of this paper is to bring notes and analyzes of sources and historiography that contribute to the understanding of Baptist missionary expansion to Central Brazil from the year 1925. The article was built from the perspective of the Cultural History of Religions. It was concluded that the Baptists took advantage of the context of Protestant expansion throughout Latin America and made use of the discourse of the supposed need that the interior habitants had to receive the Christian message in order to justify the realization of their projects. It is believed that the issues raised here may contribute to the debates about the Protestant theme in Brazil, especially in the field of the Cultural History of Religions.
