This research explores the potential of constructive theology as a framework for interreligious dialogue in the postmodern era. Given the increasing pluralism and relativism characteristic of this era, a theological approach that is both inclusive and grounded in tradition is needed. Constructive theology, with its emphasis on contextuality and dialogue, offers a promising avenue for fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse religious traditions. By examining the principles and practices of constructive theology, this study develops a model for interreligious dialogue that is responsive to the challenges and opportunities of the postmodern world. The research employs a descriptive-analytic approach, drawing on both primary and secondary sources. The findings highlight the strengths of constructive theology in promoting inclusivity, addressing the challenges of relativism, and fostering interdisciplinary engagement. Based on these findings, a model for interreligious dialogue is proposed that emphasizes mutual respect, active listening, and the search for common ground. The implications of this research for theological education, interfaith initiatives, and the broader society are discussed.

Abstrak
Kemajemukan dan keberagaman yang terdapat di Indonesia merupakan suatu kekayaan bangsa. Namun, kemajemukan dan keberagaman agama di Indonesia juga dapat menyulut letupan-letupan konflik antar umat beragama. Hal ini dikarenakan setiap agama memiliki klaim kebenarannya masing-masing dan adanya sekelompok orang yang memaksakan kehendaknya dan tidak ingin ada perbedaan. Gereja sebagai organisasi dan komunitas agama yang ada di Indonesia memiliki peran untuk menghadapi tantangan kerukunan umat beragama. Dalam upayanya menjaga kerukunan umat beragama, gereja dapat melibatkan generasi Z sebagai generasi yang berada di usia produktif. Generasi Z dapat dilibatkan untuk bergabung dalam kegiatan lintas agama sehingga melalui keterlibatan ini generasi Z dapat merasakan bahwa mereka memiliki tanggung jawab, dan kontribusi dalam menjaga kerukunan umat beragama. Generasi Z juga perlu diberi pemahaman politik kewargaan dan politik radikal. Generasi Z harus terlebih dahulu menyadari perannya sebagai warga negara dan mengetahui tentang nilai-nilai kristiani namun tetap relevan bagi orang sekitar, dan tidak menarik diri dari ruang publik, dari persoalan masyarakat, dan tidak memaksakan etika kekristenan kepada orang yang berbeda agama.
