Resumen
ORELLANA URTUBIA, Luis Alberto. The Religious Matrix of Pentecostalism in Chile: The Pentecostal Methodist Church of Chile and the Pentecostal Evangelical Church (1909-1973). Mem. Soc. [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.40, pp.266-285. ISSN 0122-5197. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.mys20-40.mrpc.
The purpose of this article is to analyze the social and historical development of the Pentecostal Methodist Church of Chile (IMP) and the Pentecostal Evangelical Church (IEP) ; representatives of the Chilean Pentecostal movement (1909 - 1973). We consulted primary sources corresponding to the magazines published by the movement since 1909. From an epistemic standpoint, the social legitimacy theory of Max Weber helped to explain the origin and development of Chilean Pentecostalism and how this was a religious movement of charismatic legitimacy that evolved and became an institution in Chilean society. Around 1932, once the movement had established itself, the Pentecostal charisma entered into a routinization phase, generating its first schism. A faction of the movement became independent to form the IEP and introduce a government system of traditional legitimacy. However, the main core of the IMP kept a charismatic model. Despite this, both factions had to face constant internal tensions between charismatic and the traditional models, which led to the formation of new autonomously organized groups.
