Evangelicals and Electoral Politics in Latin America: A Kingdom of This World, Taylor C. Boas's 2023 comparative academic study from Cambridge University Press, examines evangelical political representation in Brazil, Chile and Peru, including the evangelical caucus in Brazil's Congress and evangelical support for Jair Bolsonaro's 2018 election. Its strength is that it is a recent, peer vetted comparative study across three countries from a major academic press. Its limit, stated as a scope note, is that it does not specifically treat violence against Candomble terreiros; use it for the evangelical political rise and Bolsonaro claims only, not for a claim about Afro Brazilian religious persecution appearing in the same passage.
