This research aims to answer the following question: Is the prosperity theology part of the religious discourse of Pastor Silas Malafaia? If so, it happens to what extent? What are the hallmarks of the prosperity theology discourse? To answer this question, this research will start with the presentation of the religious, ministerial and professional formation of Silas Malafaia in order to detect the pillars that served for his formation. Next, a discussion will be made on the discourse of prosperity based on the ideas of discursive language, Michel Foucault, in order to apply this concept to the possible adequacy and contextualization that Silas Malafaia has demonstrated in his discourse in a plural environment. Also part of the theoretical axis of the research is the definition of what is called Prosperity Theology (where it emerged? How it developed? And what are its main representatives?) As a corpus of analysis, this research evaluates the discourse of Silas Malafaia using two sermons of the said pastor: one at the beginning of his ministerial activity (in the 1980s), and another at a time of transition in his trajectory (in the early 2000s). It is worth noting that this change in trajectory was also indicated by the partnerships with televangelists such as Mike Murdok and Morris Cerullo. In this work we highlight the media profile of Silas Malafaia and the adaptation of his discourse to the new realities.
