This Scientific Article can be divided into three parts. The first part focuses on Brazilian Pentecostalism, a synthesis of its history, theology and social worldview. In its second part, the emphasis is on post-modernity. Based on the thoughts of Zygmunt Bauman and Byung-Chul Han, about characteristics of post-modern society, to bring a “bridge” to the connection between Brazilian Pentecostalism and post-modernity. Show the relationship between Pentecostal religious thought with the contemporary idealization of post-modernity, with the aim of highlighting the common and distinct bases of this interaction, giving relevance to the approximation of Pentecostal Christians, with a traditional charismatic religious thought, with a modern society. Give a small sociological perspective, with regard to the growth of Pentecostalism in Brazil.
