Zusammenfassung:The text discusses the relationship between religion and development, firstly through a critical analysis of the work of Norris & Inglehart (2004), and then through a discussion of the methodological difficulties in studying the relationship between Brazilian Pentecostalism and economic development. It concludes that Brazilian Pentecostals operate on the periphery of the capitalist world economy and cannot have the same macroeconomic effect as the original carriers of Weber's Protestant ethic. Nevertheless, Pentecostals may well be economically energized by several aspects of their faith. Above all, it is impossible to talk about development wthout mentioning the role of Pentecostal churches in situations of urban violence, in which, through unusual ways, Pentecostalism seems to fulfill a "civiliang mission". Keywords Religion and development * Urban violence * Pentecostalism * 0 texto discute a relacao entre religiao e desenvolvimento, primeiramente atraves de uma analise critica da obra de Norris & Inglehart (2004), e, depois, de uma discussao das dificuldades metodologicas em tratar o pentecostalismo brasileiro e o desenvolvimento economico. conclui que os pentecostais brasileiros operam na periferia da economia capitalista mundial e nao podem ter o mesmo efeito macroeconomico dos portadores originais da etica protestante weberiana. Mesmo assim, os pentecostais podem muito bem ser energizados economicamente por varios aspectos da sua fe. sobretudo, e impossivel falar de desenvolvimento sem mencionar o papel das igrejas pentecostais em situacoes de violencia urbana, nas quais, por vias inusitadas, o pentecostalismo parece cumprir uma "missao civilizadora".
