Uncover the truth about the scandal that shook the Texas Baptist community, buried for over a century. > In Remembering Antônia Teixeira, Mikeal C. Parsons and João B. Chaves painstakingly peel back the layers of concealment that have accumulated over a century of enforced silence about the case. Beginning with Antonia's father Antônio Teixeira, a priest who had renounced Catholicism and become a pillar of the Baptist community in Brazil, Parsons and Chaves uproot romanticized and hagiographical accounts of the Southern Baptist Convention's foreign missions. They then follow Antônia's journey north, her assault, and the subsequent scandal that shook Texas--until it was intentionally erased. Iconoclastic and meticulous, Remembering Antônia Teixeira calls attention to how religious institutions have used selective memory to maintain power. In doing so, this book takes a first step toward dismantling those structures of oppression. Foreword Reviews INDIES Book of the Year Award in Biography Finalist (2023)
