Resumo: This thesis set out to investigate and discuss how images - perception and visual devices - are used in the development and dissemination of Pentecostal eschatology as a way of affirming religious identity among members of the Assembly of God of Paraíba, João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Based on this proposal, this study aimed to demonstrate that the use of visual devices in the Assembly of God of Paraíba plays an important role in the consolidation of eschatology among Assembly members. Since image supports have been an important means of consolidating religious imagery over time, this thesis presented the role of visual culture in the Pentecostal Evangelicalism of the Assemblies of God as its central research problem, specifically using the image material found on eschatology. In this way, it examined the use of symbols, metaphors and visual narratives in the communication of this event, and how visual devices influence the construction of this imaginary by the Assemblies. The object of the research was the use of visual devices by the Assembly of God of Paraíba, shaping an eschatological imaginary among the members of this religious denomination. From a cultural-historical perspective, this work used the analytical model proposed by historian Erwin Panofsky as a theoretical support for the iconological analysis of Pentecostal visual culture, considering both the visual elements and the cultural and historical aspects of the images. In this sense, the work shows that imagery is an important part of the evangelizing strategy of Pentecostals, particularly in the Assemblies of God, configuring a specific visual culture; the imagery used is generally not produced nationally, but imported, and therefore undergoes a process of reception according to the interests of the Pentecostal evangelizing project; the eschatological imagery is preponderant in these visual devices and, read iconologically, they emphasize the relationship between the priorities of Pentecostal leaders and the socio-historical contexts of Brazilian social formation.
