Vol. 7 No. 3 (2016): Protestant Confessional Education in Brazil
This dossier brought together eight articles by researchers and scholars, from different regions
of Brazil, who have investigated different aspects of this particularity of Brazilian
education, reviewing concepts and presenting new perspectives for analysis; questioning
practices and discourses that are not always clear in the interactions between churches and
schools. They are educators, historians, pedagogues, sociologists and theologians who present
their contributions to the reflection of this modality of school understood in its interface
with religious, gender, political and cultural issues. The relevance of these studies can be
seen in the diversity of sources used for the preparation of articles. The dossier contains
contributions from educational activities developed by Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians
and Assemblies in Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and from the Czech
religious group called Hussites, in the 16th century.
