| Travel | BrazilSummary: Seven Wonders of Brazil journeys into the heart of Brazil, a country where football is worshipped like a national cult, to explore a much older religion-Brazilian Christianity. The religion has existed since the country was colonized by the portuguese almost 500 years ago and is a mixture of influences - African beliefs, indigenous Indian rituals, and the folk Catholicism of the southern Europeans.
Robert Beckford, a British academic theologian, explores the incredible spiritual diversity of Brazil by travelling to the country's seven wonders. From the spectacular and iconic Christ the Redeemer statue to the samba beat of the Carnival, at each wonder, Robert looks at a key ingredient that makes up the meeting pot that is Brazilian Christianity.
