ALGRANTI, Joaquín  and  SCHENCMAN, Pablo. Observaciones sobre el difícil arte de la representación: Los evangélicos frente a los temas controversiales. Soc. relig. [online]. 2010, vol.20, n.32-33, pp.124-139. ISSN 1853-7081.

Several productions within social sciences deal with the case of pentecostalism to observe an example of mechanical reproduction among the faithful opinions and the worldview proclaimed by their religious leaders. Our article takes data from the survey emerged from 'Religion and Social Structure in Argentina' project to confront that recurrence. Circumscribed to the result of a set of questions, nucleated around sexual and reproductive health of the respondents, remains notable the hiatus that distance the liturgical positions with those that the argentine protestants expresses. Then, we transcend the empirical data to address a theoretical reflection on the complexities of representation, practice of leadership and institutional positioning, crystallized toward the outlying of a religious community.

Keywords : evangelicals; controversial issues; representation; religious leaders.
