Tanatoprophesy, Biotanatoprophesy, and interconnections with Pentecostal prophetic

Abstract

The article proposes research in the field of Thanatology, examining the relationship between Pentecostal prophetic continuism, theology, and ethical care for terminal patients and their families. Thanatology, derived from Thánatos, the Greek god of death, aims to understand death in the human sciences and Bioethics. Biotanatology emerges, focusing on post-death care. Theology contributes with biblical examples, such as "Thanatoprophetism" (prophecy of death) and "Biotanatoprophetism" (prophecy of life). The study aims to analyze continuist practices outside the worship environment, especially in hospital settings. Using deductive methodology and qualitative research, the study will involve bibliographic analysis and potentially empirical research. Ethical questions related to prophetic continuism are explored, seeking to understand how Pentecostal theology can contribute to Bioethics. The objective is to identify whether Assemblies of God Pentecostals practice "Thanatoprophecy" or "Biotanatoprophecy" and their reception in society, aiming for significant contributions to academia and terminal care practices.
