This dataset presents an extensive, multidisciplinary bibliography documenting the historical trajectory, theological development, and sociological impact of the Congregação Cristã no Brasil (CCB) and its transnational affiliates. Spanning over a century of scholarship—from early 20th-century primary accounts to contemporary 2026 analyses—the collection includes academic theses, monographs, ecclesiastical documents, legal case studies, and musical treatises. Key thematic areas covered in this bibliography include: Historical Origins and Migration: Detailed accounts of the movement's inception and establishment in via Louis Francescon, its roots in the Italian-American revival in Chicago, and its subsequent expansion across Brazil, Europe, and the Americas. Theology and Doctrine: Explorations of Classical Pentecostal identity, pneumatology, and specific practices such as the use of the veil, the holy kiss, and baptismal rites. Sociology and Culture: Research on the "invisible" nature of the CCB in the public sphere, gender roles in leadership and worship, and the sect's interactions with urban and rural environments. Musicology: A significant corpus of work dedicated to the CCB’s unique orchestral tradition, organist training, and the evolution of its sacred hymnals. Legal History and Religious Liberty: Documentation of the persecution of Pentecostal groups during the Fascist era in Italy and the ongoing legal challenges faced by minority faiths in Brazil and abroad. This repository serves as a critical resource for researchers in Religious Studies, History, Sociology, Theology, Migration Studies, Pentecostal Studies, Hymnology and Musicology, offering a foundational map of one of the largest and most distinctive Pentecostal movements in the Global South.
