Abstract

For more than 70 years, it was common to see in Brazilian Protestant Christian homes a picture hanging on the wall: "The Two Ways" picture, originated in Germany in the middle of the 19 th century, further enhanced in the Netherlands, and disseminated from England to the entire world in the late 19th century. Since then, it has been one of the Protestantism's most well known cultural productions. This picture was then brought to missionary fields, used for preaching and indoctrination, since it summarizes the Protestant Puritan message. This iconography is a model and conveys a well-defined vision of boundaries, establishing precise limits for the behavior of Christians. Today the picture is out of circulation. However, understanding the "two way" picture helps us deepen our knowledge about the Protestantism that spread throughout Brazil's rural areas and small cities.
