Where are the poor? : a comparison of the ecclesial base communities and pentecostalism, a case study in Cuernavaca, Mexico / Philip D. Wingeier-Rayo ; with a foreword by Justo L. González.

• Pt. 1. Review of background literature. The background of Pentecostalism -- The background of the Ecclesial Base Communities -- Comparison of background literature on Ecclesial Base Communities and Pentecostalism -- Pt. 2. Ethnographic findings. Ethnographic findings of field work in an Ecclesial Base Community in Cuernavaca -- Ethnographic findings of the "Discípulos de Jesus" Pentecostal congregations in Cuernavaca -- Observations from ethnography.

• The ecclesial base communities (CEBs) emerged in the wake of Latin American liberation theology and are often referred to as "the church of the poor." This book, however, addresses whether or not CEBs are indeed the church of the poor today. It is an open question if Pentecostalism has in fact become the new church of the poor. This one-year ethnographic study of both movements in a marginalized barrio in Cuernavaca, Mexico aims to answer this question.
