Abstract

This article is fruit of a year-long field experience at a Mormon church in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its main objective is to describe the manner in which these mormons demonstrate their experience with the divine: as a form of knowledge. My intent is to discuss the opposition between belief and knowledge in Anthropology, and the role of the ethnographer in fieldwork.
