Sociografía elemental del campo religioso protestante en municipios de la frontera norte y Tabasco

Abstract

The transformation of the Mexican religious field is a clear reality, minifested by the decreased amount of catholic feligreses in relation to the affiliated religions, also the proliferation of different groups. Nevertheless, it is little wath we know in relation to the nature and direction of this transformation, even in those regions where the religious field has reached unprecedented levels. This research tends to contribute to the knowledge of those transformations by the analysis of the composition and evolution or the specific segments of the religious field, form both zones of the accelerated change, like that of the countries of the northern frontier and of Tabasco. Bye the use of diverse analysis techniques, a ddesired region and country model is constructed that serves as an example of what occurs in the general religious field, and that permits us to have an idea of what groups grow, where with what rhythm and what causes can we attribute to the growth. The comparative analysis reveals, also, the profound existing differences in both regions referring to the type of groups that are growing, their growth stages, and the plural nature more or less of each county and region.
