He also considers the controversial issues of religious persecution and American missionary influence. Bowen reveals that Evangelicalisms appeal is so pervasive in Mexico that if Evangelical converts all remained faithful it could become Mexicos dominant religion by 2006. This projection however is improbable due to high dropout rates. Bowen argues that Evangelical apostasy is rooted in the most basic beliefs and practices of its followers./DIVDIVAn extremely interesting and controversial account of the Mexican context and the pattern of Evangelical penetration.
