Abstract:
This paper aims to do an analysis of the Christian Evangelical songs produced in the decade
of the 80s, which were influenced by the contextual theologies practiced in Brazil during this
period, using exegetical methods. The first part will sketch out a brief sociological panorama
of Brazil in the 80s decade in connection with the music practiced in the period, serving as the
background. The second part will point out the agents who directly influenced the appearance
of these songs in Brazil and the theoretical references these agents used to make and
disseminate the mission songs of this period. The second part will also classify these songs,
composed under the influence of the contextual theology, subdividing them into categories.
The third part will be a detailed analysis, aiming at extracting from the texts of the songs the
intentionality of the authors, highlighting, as well, the specific factors of the reality spelled
out in the prior chapters.
