During Brazils last elections, the Evangelicals political force and their capacity to define the agenda of the Presidential campaign attracted constant news attention in the lay press. However, little was said about this worlds internal diversity or the different ways these religious people think of politics. Wagering on a dialectic interweaving worldview and communication, we focused on the symbolic expressiveness of these publications as a window on the way politics was portrayed and experienced by the two main forces in the Brazilian Evangelical/Pentecostal community during the last electoral campaign.
