Analisis Eksegesis Efesus 1:15-23 dan Implikasinya bagi Fondasi Otoritas Pelayanan Supernatural pada Gereja Masa Kini
type: item
description: Contemporary theological discourse tends toward two opposing extremes: charismatic traditions that privilege experiential encounter without rigorous exegetical grounding, and cessationist traditions that categorically deny the ongoing operation of miraculous gifts beyond the apostolic era. Both tendencies reveal a common deficit, namely, the absence of a robust biblical-theo-logical foundation for the authority of supernatural ministry. This article addresses that deficit through a historical-grammatical exegesis of Ephesians 1:15-23. Employing lexical, syntactical, and theological analysis, this study argues that Paul constructs the authority of supernatural ministry upon four interlocking theological pillars: the Spirit of wisdom and revelation as the epistemological ground of ministry (Eph. 1:17-18); the resurrection power of Christ as the ontological source of ec-clesial authority (Eph. 1:19-20); the cosmic supremacy of the exalted Christ over all spiritual powers (Eph. 1:21); and the organic union of the church as the body under Christ as its head (Eph. 1:22-23). The findings demonstrate that authentic supernatural ministry is not grounded in charismatic experience or personal gifting but in the trinitarian work of God, expressed through the resurrection and exaltation of Christ and applied by the Holy Spirit within the body of Christ. This study contributes a christocentric, pneumatological, and ecclesiological framework for evaluating and practicing supernatural ministry in the contemporary church. Abstrak: Diskursus teologi kontemporer cenderung terpolarisasi antara dua ekstrem yang saling bertentangan: tradisi karismatik yang mengutamakan pengalaman spiritual tanpa landasan eksegesis yang memadai, dan tradisi cessationist yang secara kategoris menolak berlangsungnya karunia mukjizat setelah era para rasul. Kedua kecenderungan ini mengungkapkan satu defisit yang sama, yakni absennya fondasi biblika-teologis yang kokoh bagi otoritas pelayanan supernatural. Ar…

Resiliensi Spiritual Remaja di Era Kecemasan: Pengembangan Model Pembinaan Iman Berbasis ROOTED
type: item
description: Adolescents of the digital generation are growing up in an "age of anxiety" marked by rising rates of anxiety and depression, while their faith is often too shallow to sustain resilience. This article aims to develop a model of faith formation that cultivates spiritual resilience among adolescents in Christian religious education (PAK). Employing a conceptual-critical method that brings the psychology of resilience into dialogue with theology, this study contextualizes the ROOTED model, originally formulated by the author for pastoral resilience, within the domain of adolescent faith formation. The article argues that spiritual resilience is not merely coping or immunity to pressure, but rather a rootedness in God that enables adaptive endurance, with consequential and generative faith as its prerequisite. The six components of this model are perichoretically interrelated, namely, rooted in Christ, oriented toward hope, open to woundedness, tending the body, enduring in community, and doxological. These components are developed for the adolescent context and operationalized within PAK praxis, with the affirmation that this model complements rather than replaces professional mental health services. The article's contribution is a theologically anchored integrative framework for resilience-forming Christian religious education. Abstrak Remaja generasi digital bertumbuh dalam "era kecemasan" yang ditandai oleh meningkatnya angka kecemasan dan depresi, sementara iman mereka kerap terlalu dangkal untuk menopang resiliensi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model pembinaan iman yang menumbuhkan resiliensi spiritual pada remaja dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK). Dengan menggunakan metode konseptual-kritis yang mendialogkan psikologi resiliensi dengan teologi, kajian ini mengontekstualisasikan model ROOTED yang semula penulis rumuskan untuk resiliensi pastoral ke dalam pembinaan iman remaja. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa resiliensi spiritual bukanlah sekadar kopin…

Pembentukan Moral di Era Pascakebenaran: Tantangan Epistemik bagi Pendidikan Kristiani
type: item
description: The post-truth era, in which appeals to emotion and personal belief outweigh objective facts, poses a challenge that is not merely informational but epistemic and moral. This article aims to analyze why the post-truth condition specifically threatens moral formation in Christian education (CE) and to propose a theologically grounded response. Employing a critical-conceptual study of recent theological, philosophical, and educational literature, the research argues that moral formation presupposes a commitment to truth; therefore, subordinating truth to preference, emotion, and tribal identity corrodes the very ground on which CE forms persons. Four concrete epistemic challenges are mapped: the erosion of epistemic trust, confirmation bias and echo chambers, the temptation of anti-intellectual fideism, and the teacher-competence gap. As a way forward, the article proposes cultivating intellectual and moral virtues within a community of truthful practice, anchored in a theological epistemology of “proper confidence.” Its contribution is a virtue-based framework for post-truth-resilient moral formation in CE. Abstrak Era pascakebenaran, ketika seruan kepada emosi dan keyakinan pribadi mengungguli fakta objektif, menghadirkan tantangan yang bukan sekadar informasional, melainkan epistemik dan moral. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis mengapa kondisi pascakebenaran secara khusus mengancam pembentukan moral dalam pendidikan Kristiani (PK) serta mengusulkan respons yang berpijak pada landasan teologis. Menggunakan metode kajian konseptual-kritis atas literatur teologi, filsafat, dan pendidikan mutakhir, penelitian ini berargumen bahwa pembentukan moral mengandaikan komitmen pada kebenaran; karena itu, penundukan kebenaran kepada preferensi, emosi, dan identitas kesukuan menggerus dasar tempat PK membentuk pribadi. Empat tantangan epistemik konkret dipetakan: erosi kepercayaan epistemik, bias konfirmasi dan ruang gema, godaan fideisme anti-intelektual, serta kesenjang…

Stewardship Ekologis
type: item
description: This article analyzes ecological stewardship as a theological framework for developing a sustainable environmental ethic by fundamentally reconstructing theological anthropology. By integrating the patristic theological tradition and contemporary eco-theology, this article argues that the imago Dei is not only a privilege but also a moral responsibility in the stewardship of the environment. The contemporary ecological crisis is understood as the result of an anthropological distortion that alienates humans from nature and frames human dominion as exploitation rather than responsibility. This article develops the concept of ecological stewardship through four dimensions: theological (God’s acts of creation and redemption), cosmological (the integration of humanity and creation), ethical (principles of justice and sustainability), and practical (concrete implementation in community life). Through connections with creation theology, eschatological theology, and principles of distributive justice, this article offers a framework for societal transformation toward a sustainable future that prioritizes ecological integrity, social justice, and the dignity of all creatures. Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis stewardship ekologis sebagai kerangka teologis untuk membangun etika lingkungan yang berkelanjutan melalui rekonstruksi fundamental antropologi teologis. Dengan mengintegrasikan tradisi teologis patristik dan ekoteologi kontemporer, artikel ini mengajukan bahwa imago Dei bukan hanya hak istimewa, tetapi juga tanggung jawab moral dalam pengelolaan lingkungan. Krisis ekologis kontemporer dipahami sebagai hasil distorsi antropologis yang mengasingkan manusia dari alam dan menempatkan human dominion sebagai eksploitasi, bukan sebagai tanggung jawab. Artikel ini mengembangkan konsep stewardship ekologis melalui empat dimensi: teologis (tindakan penciptaan dan penebusan Allah), kosmologis (integrasi antara manusia dan ciptaan), etis (prinsip-prinsip keadilan dan keberlanjutan…

Ekonomi Kerajaan Allah: Eksegesis 1 Timotius 6:6–10 dan Praktik Ekonomi Komunitas Gereja Perdana untuk Keadilan Distributif Kontemporer
type: item
description: This article examines the concept of the "economy of the Kingdom of God" through an exegesis of 1 Timothy 6:6–10 and the economic practices of the early church community, using them as a theological foundation for contemporary distributive justice. Employing a historical-grammatical exegetical approach combined with socio-historical analysis, this study identifies the meaning of αὐτάρκεια (autarkeia) as theological sufficiency distinct from Stoic idealism and explores how the early Christian community structurally practiced economic redistribution. Findings indicate that the text offers not merely an individual moral warning but an alternative economic architecture grounded in koinonia. Practical implications for the contemporary Indonesian church include developing models of structural diakonia, transparent congregational financial governance, and church engagement in social justice advocacy. This study fills a gap in the literature by integrating exegesis of the Pastoral Epistles with the contextual economics of the Indonesian church. Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji konsep "ekonomi Kerajaan Allah" melalui eksegesis 1 Timotius 6:6–10 dan praktik ekonomi komunitas gereja perdana sebagai dasar teologis bagi keadilan distributif kontemporer. Menggunakan pendekatan eksegesis historis-gramatikal dan analisis sosio-historis, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi makna αὐτάρκεια (autarkeia) sebagai kecukupan teologis yang berbeda dari idealisme Stoa, serta mengeksplorasi bagaimana komunitas Kristen mula-mula mempraktikkan redistribusi ekonomi secara struktural. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa teks ini tidak sekadar memberikan peringatan moral individual, melainkan menawarkan arsitektur ekonomi alternatif berbasis koinonia. Implikasi praktis bagi gereja Indonesia kontemporer mencakup pengembangan model diakonia struktural, pengelolaan keuangan jemaat yang transparan, serta keterlibatan gereja dalam advokasi keadilan sosial. Penelitian ini mengisi kesenjangan literatur yang jarang menginte…

Gereja dan Kohesi Sosial: Eklesiologi Profetik dalam Masyarakat Plural dan Terpolarisasi
type: item
description: This article analyzes the role of the church as a catalyst for social cohesion through prophetic ecclesiology in a pluralistic, polarized society. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review that integrates systematic theology and contemporary social analysis. The results of the study show that a holistic soteriology that integrates spiritual and social dimensions is the foundation of prophetic ecclesiology. Social fragmentation is understood as a manifestation of ruptura communionis, which demands a serious theological response. Prophesy-based ecclesiology is formulated through five constitutive characteristics: prophetic criticism, solidarity with the oppressed, constructive vision formulation, intergroup dialogue, and contextual responsiveness. The article offers a practical implementation model through community-based, faith-based social movements, interfaith alliances, and prophetic teaching. Despite facing substantive obstacles, the prospect of the church as an agent of social change remains open through commitment to long-term transformation and ongoing learning. Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis peran gereja sebagai katalis kohesi sosial melalui eklesiologi profetik dalam konteks masyarakat plural yang terpolarisasi. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka yang menggabungkan teologi sistematika dan analisis sosial kontemporer. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa soteriologi holistik yang mengintegrasikan dimensi spiritual dan sosial merupakan fondasi bagi eklesiologi profetik. Fragmentasi sosial dipahami sebagai manifestasi ruptura communionis yang menuntut respons teologis yang serius. Eklesiologi profetik dirumuskan melalui lima karakteristik konstitutif, yakni kritik profetik, solidaritas dengan kaum tertindas, perumusan visi yang konstruktif, dialog lintas kelompok, dan responsivitas kontekstual. Artikel ini menawarkan model implementasi yang praktis melalui komunitas berbasis, gerakan sosial berbasis i…

Atas Nama Keadilan
type: item
description: This article examines Exodus 5:1-24 using the socio-historical interpretation method. Through the research conducted, we classify Exodus 5:1-24 under the E source (Elohist), which originates from the Northern Kingdom of Israel. This E source emerged as a protest from the prophets of Northern Israel against the oppression carried out by Solomon and then Rehoboam, who imposed high taxes to support the stability of their rule. When Exodus 5:1-24 is read in the context of this protest, the protest of Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh also represents the protest of the people of Northern Israel, who were oppressed by King Solomon and then by his son Rehoboam. The prophetic protest against the injustice experienced by the people of Northern Israel serves as an important call today for the church and society to remain critical of oppressive structures. Abstrak Tulisan ini mengkaji Keluaran 5:1-24 dengan metode tafsir sosiohistoris. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, teks Keluaran 5:1-24 ternyata digolongkan ke dalam sumber E (Elohis) yang berasal dari Kerajaan Israel Utara. Sumber E muncul sebagai protes dari kenabian Israel Utara terhadap penindasan yang dilakukan oleh Salomo dan kemudian Rehabeam, yang memberlakukan pajak tinggi untuk mendukung stabilitas pemerintahannya. Ketika Keluaran 5:1-24 dibaca dalam konteks protes ini, protes Musa dan Harun kepada Firaun sesungguhnya juga mewakili protes orang-orang Israel Utara yang ditindas oleh Raja Salomo dan kemudian oleh anaknya, Rehabeam. Ketidakadilan yang dialami oleh orang-orang Israel Utara dan protes kenabian terhadap hal itu, menjadi seruan penting di masa kini bagi gereja dan masyarakat untuk tetap kritis terhadap struktur-struktur yang menindas.

Model Pastoral Konseling dalam Menangani Trauma Korban Kekerasan Seksual di Gereja-gereja Lokal
type: item
description: This study analyzes pastoral counseling models in addressing trauma among sexual violence victims in local churches, focusing on congregations in Cianjur City. A qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory design was employed, involving six pastors selected purposively as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings indicate that pastoral counseling practices remain unsystematic and heavily dependent on pastors' personal experience. The approaches applied tend to emphasize spiritual reinforcement without grounding in theoretical counseling frameworks or trauma-informed perspectives. The study also identified limited pastoral competence in trauma handling, alongside socio-cultural barriers such as stigma and a culture of silence that impede the accompaniment process. Furthermore, no contextual and structured pastoral counseling model currently exists for addressing sexual violence victims within local church settings. These findings underscore the urgent need to develop a pastoral counseling model that holistically integrates theological, psychological, and socio-cultural dimensions. This study contributes both theoretically and practically to strengthening pastoral ministry that is more responsive to sexual violence issues within religious communities. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis model pastoral konseling dalam menangani trauma korban kekerasan seksual di gereja lokal, dengan fokus pada gereja-gereja di Kota Cianjur. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif-eksploratif digunakan, melibatkan enam pendeta sebagai partisipan yang dipilih secara purposif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik pastoral konseling masih belum sistematis dan bergantung pada pengalaman pribadi pendeta. Pendekatan yang digunakan cenderung…

Tepa Selira sebagai Hermeneutika Perjumpaan: Etika Harmoni Jawa dalam Teologi Persahabatan Lintas Iman
type: item
description: Discourse on interfaith friendship in Indonesia often stops at the pragmatic level, peaceful coexistence, formal harmony, and elite dialogue, without engaging the hermeneutical depth that allows substantive encounters. Meanwhile, Javanese tradition holds the concept of "tepa selira" as an empathetic capacity to genuinely place oneself in the other's position, one that goes beyond mere passive tolerance. This article offers a theological framework of "tepa selira as a hermeneutic of encounter" that engages Javanese harmony ethics with contemporary theology of friendship, particularly the contextual theology of friendship developed in Indonesian theological journals over the past decade. Osmer's practical theology approach, descriptive, interpretive, normative, and pragmatic, structures the argument. Four discussion stages are developed: the genealogy of tepa selira in Javanese ethics; Jesus as Friend and the contemporary theology of friendship; tepa selira as a hermeneutic of encounter; and practical implications for interfaith friendship in plural Indonesia. The article's contribution lies in formulating a framework that preserves Christological particularity while opening substantive, not merely procedural, dialogical space with our interfaith neighbors in Indonesia. Abstrak Wacana persahabatan lintas iman di Indonesia kerap berhenti pada level pragmatis, tentang koeksistensi damai, kerukunan formal, dan dialog elit, tanpa menyentuh kedalaman hermeneutis yang memungkinkan perjumpaan substantif. Pada saat yang sama, tradisi Jawa memiliki konsep "tepa selira" yang berarti kemampuan empatik untuk benar-benar menempatkan diri pada posisi orang lain, sebuah kemampuan yang lebih dari sekadar toleransi pasif. Artikel ini menawarkan kerangka teologis "tepa selira sebagai hermeneutika perjumpaan" yang mendialogkan etika harmoni Jawa dengan teologi persahabatan kontemporer, khususnya teologi persahabatan kontekstual yang berkembang dalam jurnal-jurnal teologi Indonesia selam…

Teologi Penghakiman yang Tertunda: Kisah Para Rasul 5:1–11, Kesabaran Allah, dan Implikasinya bagi Eklesiologi Kontemporer
type: item
description: Acts 5:1–11 records an event that frequently generates theological tension: the immediate deaths of Ananias and Sapphira as a consequence of their deception toward the community and the Holy Spirit. This event appears to conflict with the doctrine of divine patience (makrothymia), one of the most prominent divine attributes in the New Testament. This article examines how the immediate divine judgment in Acts 5:1–11 can be coherently understood within the framework of divine-patience theology and explores its implications for contemporary ecclesiology, particularly regarding church discipline, community integrity, and the call to corporate holiness. This study employs a narrative-historical-exegetical method applied to Acts 5:1–11, combined with cross-canonical biblical-theological analysis and a systematic-ecclesiological review. Findings indicate that the immediate judgment in this pericope does not negate divine patience but functions as a divine kairos act that safeguards the integrity of the early ecclesia as a witnessing community. Implications for contemporary ecclesiology include the necessity of restoring a theology of church discipline grounded in both love and holiness. Abstrak Kisah Para Rasul 5:1–11 merekam sebuah peristiwa yang kerap menimbulkan ketegangan teologis: kematian seketika Ananias dan Safira akibat penipuan terhadap jemaat dan Roh Kudus. Peristiwa ini tampak bertentangan dengan doktrin kesabaran Allah (makrothymia) yang menjadi salah satu atribut ilahi yang paling menonjol dalam Perjanjian Baru. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana penghakiman ilahi yang bersifat segera dalam Kisah Para Rasul 5:1–11 dapat dipahami secara koheren dalam kerangka teologi kesabaran Allah, serta menelaah implikasinya bagi eklesiologi kontemporer, khususnya dalam hal disiplin gerejawi, integritas komunitas, dan panggilan kekudusan korporat.

Paradigma Pedagogi Missio Dei: Rekonstruksi Teologi Misi bagi Pendidikan Kristiani
type: item
description: Christian education in Indonesia is often reduced to mere character formation, while mission is perceived as a church activity unrelated to the educational domain. This separation does not originate from theological principles but is shaped by colonialism, modernism, and rationalism, which disconnected intellectual formation from missional participation. Employing a qualitative approach and theological-systematic analysis, this study reconstructs mission theology within Christian education by positioning Missio Dei as the foundational paradigm that affirms God as the primary subject of mission. The findings demonstrate that Missio Dei reintegrates education and mission through a participatory pedagogical framework manifested in kerygma, diakonia, and koinonia. These three dimensions form a transformative educational model, placing educators as co-workers of God and positioning the curriculum as an instrument of restoration, social justice, and living witness. Consequently, education moves beyond a cognitive orientation and functions as diakonia, shaping learners into agents of reconciliation and bearers of shalom within society. Abstrak Pendidikan Kristiani di Indonesia kerap dipersempit menjadi sekadar pembinaan karakter, sedangkan misi dianggap sebagai kegiatan gerejawi yang tidak berkaitan dengan ranah pendidikan. Pemisahan ini bukan berakar pada landasan teologis, melainkan dipengaruhi oleh kolonialisme, modernisme, dan rasionalisme yang memutus hubungan antara pembentukan intelektual dan partisipasi misioner. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif serta analisis teologis-sistematis, penelitian ini merekonstruksi teologi misi dalam pendidikan Kristiani dengan menjadikan Missio Dei sebagai dasar yang menegaskan Allah sebagai subjek utama misi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Missio Dei mengintegrasikan kembali pendidikan dan misi melalui pendekatan pedagogis partisipatif yang termanifestasi dalam kerygma, diakonia, dan koinonia. Ketiga dimensi tersebut membentuk model pend…

Model Kepemimpinan Adaptif-Kenotik dalam Pengambilan Keputusan di Gereja Lokal
type: item
description: This study analyzes models of Christian leadership in decision-making within local churches in Supiori Regency, Papua, employing a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design. Data were gathered through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation involving three church practitioners from different denominations and analyzed through a critical-thematic approach integrating adaptive leadership theory, participatory leadership, kenotic leadership, and theology of the cross. The findings identify three complementary leadership patterns: the biblical tri-functional model integrating the roles of priest, prophet, and king; the participatory-kenotic model emphasizing humility, dialogue, and congregational involvement; and the intuitive-charismatic model relying on sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's guidance through communal discernment. The study concludes that the adaptive-kenotic leadership model is the most contextually relevant theoretical construct for local churches, as it integrates rationality, participation, spiritual intuition, accountability, and the ethics of the cross. This model offers a contextual, ethical, and transformative leadership framework while opening pathways for pastoral practice that is responsive to local cultural diversity and the complexity of contemporary ecclesial ministry in Papua. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis model kepemimpinan Kristen dalam pengambilan keputusan di gereja lokal di Kabupaten Supiori, Papua, melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus instrumental.

In the Indonesian context, marked by social fragmentation, identity polarization, intolerance, and ecological crises, love can no longer be treated merely as a moral theme or verbal doctrine. It needs to be positioned as a curricular principle that shapes learning objectives, content, pedagogical methods, teacher-student relations, school culture, and assessment practices. Using a constructive qualitative approach and hermeneutical reading of Ministry of Religious Affairs documents, Christian education documents, and philosophical-theological literature, this study interprets the Love-Based Curriculum through the concepts of ordo amoris, caritas, love of neighbor, responsibility for the other, and the formation of religious subjectivity. The analysis indicates that the Love-Based Curriculum can be constructed as a paradigm for Christian Religious Education by integrating love for God, the example of Christ, respect for human dignity, care for creation, and national responsibility. Its pedagogical implications require Christian Religious Education to develop dialogical, narrative-reflective, reconciliatory, and service-oriented learning, enabling students to become faithful, humane, inclusive, ecological, and publicly responsible religious subjects. Abstrak Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta menghadirkan peluang konseptual untuk mereorientasi Pendidikan Agama Kristen dari pola pembelajaran yang dominan kognitif-doktrinal menuju formasi iman yang lebih humanis, dialogis, dan transformatif. Dalam konteks masyarakat Indonesia yang ditandai oleh fragmentasi sosial, polarisasi identitas, intoleransi, dan krisis ekologis, kasih tidak dapat lagi dipahami hanya sebagai tema moral atau ajaran verbal, melainkan perlu ditempatkan sebagai prinsip kurikuler yang membentuk t…

Strategi Penginjilan Relasional dalam Kelompok Sel bagi Gen Z
type: item
description: Generation Z responds more to authentic relationships than one-way, formal evangelism. This qualitative case study analyzes relational evangelism strategies within cell groups for Gen Z at Gereja Bethel Indonesia Eben Haezer. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with six cell group leaders and analyzed thematically. Findings show that cell groups function as transitional spaces helping new believers enter church life gradually, safely, and free from formal religious pressure. Personal relationships serve as the main gateway for evangelism, building trust, emotional closeness, and openness in faith conversations. Nonformal activities such as sports and social interaction foster natural, inclusive community, while digital media bridges physical and online relational nurturing. Cell groups thus emerge as the core community of relational evangelism, offering belonging and spiritual family experience, rooted in love and Christ's ministry pattern that emphasizes personal encounter. Abstrak Gen Z lebih responsif terhadap keautentikan relasi dibandingkan dengan pola penginjilan formal satu arah. Penelitian kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus ini menganalisis strategi penginjilan relasional dalam kelompok sel bagi Gen Z di Gereja Bethel Indonesia, Eben Haezer. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan enam pemimpin kelompok sel dan dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok sel berfungsi sebagai ruang transisi yang membantu jiwa baru memasuki kehidupan gereja secara bertahap, aman, dan bebas dari tekanan keagamaan secara formal. Relasi personal menjadi pintu masuk utama penginjilan karena membangun kepercayaan, kedekatan emosional, dan keterbukaan untuk berbicara tentang iman. Aktivitas nonformal seperti olahraga dan interaksi sosial memperkuat komunitas yang alami dan inklusif, sementara media digital berperan dalam menjembatani pembinaan relasional secara fisik dan digital. Kelompok sel dengan demikian menjadi komunitas inti …

Sinergi Divine Healing dan Spiritualitas Kristen sebagai Model Pastoral Gereja dalam Menghadapi Radikalisme Digital dan Krisis Moral Global
type: item
description: Digital transformation eases information access but fosters digital radicalism and moral erosion. This global ethical crisis weakens Christian faith resilience. This qualitative, literature-based study addresses the absence of an integrative theological model unifying divine healing and Christian spirituality as a coherent pastoral response to digital radicalism. Through critical descriptive analysis of Mark chapter 1 verses 40 to 45 and Mark's chapter 5 verses 25 to 34, it demonstrates that New Testament healing restores social dignity and communal membership, not just physical health. This study develops a three-dimensional pastoral model: kerygma (proclamation), therapeia (healing), and koinonia (fellowship). Findings show that Christian spirituality acts as a moral fortress against extreme digital narratives. Meanwhile, divine healing provides a pastoral mechanism to address radicalism-induced wounds holistically. The novelty lies in offering a replicable, practical theological model for churches to respond contextually to digital disruption. Abstrak Transformasi digital mempermudah akses terhadap informasi sekaligus menyuburkan radikalisme digital dan erosi moral. Krisis nilai etis global ini memperlemah ketahanan iman Kristen. Penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka ini menjawab belum adanya model teologis integratif yang menyatukan divine healing dan spiritualitas Kristen sebagai respons pastoral yang koheren terhadap radikalisme digital. Melalui analisis deskriptif kritis terhadap Markus bab 1 ayat 40 sampai 45 dan Markus bab 5 ayat 25 sampai 34, ditemukan bahwa penyembuhan dalam Perjanjian Baru memulihkan martabat sosial serta keanggotaan komunal, bukan sekadar aspek fisik. Penelitian ini menyusun model pastoral tiga dimensi: kerygma (pemberitaan), therapeia (penyembuhan), dan koinonia (persekutuan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa spiritualitas Kristen berfungsi sebagai benteng moral terhadap narasi ekstrem di ruang digital. Sementara itu, divine h…

Rekonstruksi Kepemimpinan Pastoral Berbasis 1 Petrus dan Implikasinya bagi Transformasi Pelayanan Gereja di Era Society 5.0
type: item
description: The digital transformation in the Society 5.0 era has shifted church leadership from direct interpersonal engagement to the dominance of virtual spaces. This transition has contributed to an identity crisis in ministry, as spiritual leaders increasingly emphasize digital image over the formation of authentic Christian character. Consequently, deep pastoral relationships are progressively weakened by a fast-paced, image-oriented culture. This study aims to examine the principles of pastoral leadership in 1 Peter and their relevance for church ministry in the digital era. A qualitative-descriptive method is employed, utilizing library research and contextual hermeneutics. The findings indicate that 1 Peter emphasizes leadership grounded in exemplary conduct, humility, genuine presence, and eschatological hope. These principles constitute a transformative and prophetic model of pastoral leadership capable of addressing the spiritual and social challenges of the digital age. In conclusion, church leadership must integrate biblical fidelity with adaptive approaches to remain relevant within the context of Society 5.0. Abstrak Era Society 5.0 yang ditandai oleh transformasi digital telah menggeser pola kepemimpinan gereja dari interaksi langsung menjadi dominasi ruang virtual. Perubahan ini memicu krisis identitas dalam pelayanan ketika para pemimpin rohani lebih menonjolkan citra digital dibandingkan pembentukan karakter Kristen yang autentik. Akibatnya, relasi pastoral yang mendalam semakin melemah karena budaya yang serba cepat dan berorientasi pada penampilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah prinsip kepemimpinan pastoral berdasarkan 1 Petrus serta relevansinya bagi pelayanan gereja di era digital. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif-deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka dan hermeneutika kontekstual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 1 Petrus menekankan kepemimpinan yang berlandaskan keteladanan hidup, kerendahan hati, kehadiran yang tulus, dan pengha…

Guru PAK sebagai Gembala Digital
type: item
description: Cyberbullying has become a serious threat to students' psychosocial well-being in Indonesian schools. This qualitative study employs a systematic literature review and content analysis to examine the strategic role of Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers in addressing this issue. Data were collected from KPAI, JPPI, peer-reviewed journals, theological literature, and published educational policy documents. The study proposes the Digital Shepherd Framework (DSF) as a conceptual model integrating the prophetic, pastoral, and pedagogical dimensions of CRE teachers' roles in the digital era. The framework consists of three interconnected pillars: ethical digital literacy grounded in Christian values, holistic pastoral accompaniment, and collaborative implementation through a whole-school approach. The novelty of this study lies in operationalizing DSF as an integrated, practical, and contextually relevant bullying prevention model for Christian education. The findings indicate that CRE teachers function as bridges between faith formation and digital citizenship while fostering a protective moral ecosystem that supports cyberbullying prevention. Abstrak Fenomena cyberbullying di era digital menjadi ancaman serius bagi kesejahteraan psikososial siswa di Indonesia. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode tinjauan literatur sistematis dan analisis isi untuk mengkaji peran strategis guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) dalam menghadapi fenomena tersebut. Data diperoleh dari KPAI, JPPI, jurnal ilmiah, buku teologi, serta dokumen kebijakan pendidikan. Penelitian ini mengusulkan Digital Shepherd Framework (DSF) sebagai model konseptual yang mengintegrasikan dimensi profetik, pastoral, dan pedagogis dalam peran guru PAK di era digital. DSF dibangun atas tiga pilar, yaitu literasi digital etis berbasis nilai-nilai Kristiani, pendampingan pastoral holistik, dan kolaborasi melalui pendekatan whole-school. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengembangan DSF sebagai mo…

Krisis Kebenaran dan Tanggung Jawab Gereja
type: item
description: The development of digital society and the emergence of the post-truth era indicate that objective facts are often no longer the primary basis for the formation of public opinion but are instead influenced by subjective emotions rooted in personal beliefs. This situation presents a serious challenge for the church as a community of faith that is theologically called to bear witness to God’s truth in the midst of the world. This study aims to analyze the crisis of truth in the post-truth era and to examine the church’s responsibility through a missiological approach in building a relevant and transformative missionary movement. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review. It can be concluded that the concept of truth from a Christian theological perspective emphasizes the importance of a solid theological foundation in responding to the challenges of the post-truth era. Missiology within the missio Dei paradigm, together with the church’s responsibility, demonstrates that the development of an ethics of truth in the digital age is a calling inseparable from the church’s identity. Ultimately, the reconstruction of the church’s missional movement in the post-truth era must be contextual, transformative, and oriented toward restoration and bearing witness to truth within society. Abstrak Perkembangan masyarakat digital dan munculnya era post-truth menunjukkan bahwa fakta objektif sering kali tidak lagi menjadi dasar utama dalam pembentukan opini publik, melainkan dipengaruhi oleh emosi subjektif berdasarkan keyakinan pribadi. Kondisi ini menghadirkan tantangan serius bagi gereja sebagai komunitas iman yang secara teologis dipanggil untuk menjadi saksi kebenaran Allah di tengah dunia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis krisis kebenaran di era post-truth serta menelaah tanggung jawab gereja melalui pendekatan teologi misi dalam membangun gerakan misioner yang relevan dan transformatif. Metode penelitian yang digu…

Reorientasi Pendidikan Kristiani dalam Krisis Ekologi
type: item
description: The ecological crisis, evident in phenomena such as climate change, reflects the broken relationship between humanity and nature caused by moral and spiritual decline as well as humanity's failure to fulfill its responsibility as steward of God's creation. Christian education holds a strategic position for cultivating ecological awareness, yet it has largely remained focused on personal spirituality without adequately integrating faith with ecological concerns. This study aims to examine the role of ethical theology in formulating a holistic and contextual reorientation of Christian education toward environmental issues. The research employs a library research method with critical and systematic analysis of relevant theological and educational sources. Findings indicate that ethical theology affirms humanity's position as imago Dei within a stewardship framework, providing the foundation for integrating faith with ecological consciousness. Accordingly, a reorientation of Christian education must be realized through a contextual and applicable curriculum. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of ethical theology with a contextual approach in Christian education, aiming to form a generation that safeguards the environment as a tangible expression of faith. Abstrak Krisis ekologi, yang tampak nyata dalam fenomena perubahan iklim, merupakan cerminan rusaknya relasi antara manusia dan alam akibat kemerosotan moral dan spiritual, sekaligus kegagalan manusia dalam menjalankan tanggung jawabnya sebagai pengelola ciptaan Allah. Pendidikan Kristiani sesungguhnya memiliki posisi strategis untuk membangun kesadaran ekologis, namun selama ini masih cenderung berorientasi pada spiritualitas personal dan belum mengintegrasikan iman secara memadai dengan persoalan ekologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran teologi etis dalam merumuskan reorientasi pendidikan Kristiani yang holistik dan kontekstual terhadap isu lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode st…

Integrasi Model Pastoral Healing dan Doa Kesembuhan Ilahi dalam Pemulihan Psiko-Spiritual Jemaat yang Mengalami Trauma Emosional
type: item
description: This study departs from the premise that emotional trauma in congregants constitutes a psycho-spiritual wound that disrupts meaning, identity, relationships, and trust in God. Church practice has tended to be fragmented: pastoral healing operates as emotional accompaniment, while divine healing prayer functions as a separate spiritual act. Using a constructive method, this study formulates an integrative model that connects them both in a trauma-informed, theological, and operational framework. The ministry sequence encompasses safe reception, wound assessment, meaning reconstruction, discerning healing prayer, community reintegration, and referral when necessary. This integration enables the church to serve as a healing community that neither oversimplifies trauma nor detaches suffering from the horizon of faith. The primary contribution of this study is a holistic, responsible, and applicable psycho-spiritual ministry model for local churches accompanying congregants who experience emotional trauma. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertolak dari pemahaman bahwa trauma emosional pada jemaat merupakan luka psiko-spiritual yang merusak makna, identitas, relasi, dan kepercayaan kepada Allah. Praktik gereja selama ini cenderung parsial: pastoral healing berjalan sebagai pendampingan emosional, sedangkan doa kesembuhan ilahi hadir sebagai tindakan rohani yang terpisah. Dengan metode konstruktif, penelitian ini merumuskan model integratif yang mempertautkan keduanya secara trauma-informed, teologis, dan operasional. Alur pelayanan mencakup penerimaan aman, pembacaan luka, rekonstruksi makna, doa kesembuhan yang diskretif, reintegrasi ke komunitas, serta kolaborasi rujukan bila diperlukan. Integrasi ini memungkinkan gereja hadir sebagai komunitas pemulihan yang tidak menyederhanakan trauma sekaligus tidak melepaskan penderitaan dari horison iman. Kontribusi utama penelitian ini adalah tersusunnya model pelayanan psikospiritual yang holistik, bertanggung jawab, dan aplikatif bagi ge…

Ruang Digital sebagai Contact Zone
type: item
description: This article proposes a reconceptualization of digital discipleship missiology by employing Mary Louise Pratt's concept of the contact zone as an analytical framework. The digital space in Indonesia is not a neutral evangelism tool; rather, it is a social arena where religious identities, power asymmetries, and regulatory structures intersect. Through a qualitative approach combining biblical theological analysis of Matthew 28:16-20 and a critical-contextual reading of Indonesia's digital landscape, this article argues that the Great Commission must be read from within the contact zone, not from a position of triumphalism. Three redefined principles are suggested: dialogic presence, digital kenosis, and sacramental integration. These principles aim to produce a model of discipleship that is theologically grounded, contextually sensitive, and responsive to the complexities of Indonesia's plural society. Abstrak Artikel ini mengusulkan reformulasi misiologi pemuridan digital dengan menggunakan konsep "contact zone" Mary Louise Pratt sebagai kerangka analitis. Ruang digital Indonesia bukan alat penginjilan yang netral, melainkan arena sosial tempat identitas keagamaan, asimetri kekuasaan, dan struktur regulasi saling berpotongan. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif yang menggabungkan analisis teologi biblika atas Matius 28:16-20 dan pembacaan kritis-kontekstual atas lanskap digital Indonesia, artikel ini berargumen bahwa Amanat Agung harus dibaca dari dalam contact zone, bukan dari posisi triumfalisme. Tiga prinsip yang direformulasi diusulkan: presensi dialogis, kenosis digital, dan integrasi sakramental. Prinsip-prinsip ini dimaksudkan untuk menghasilkan model pemuridan yang berakar secara teologis, peka terhadap konteks, dan responsif terhadap kompleksitas masyarakat Indonesia yang majemuk

Pengampunan sebagai Gaya Hidup Komunal Kristosentris
type: item
description: Forgiveness in the Christian tradition transcends moral obligation and constitutes an ethical response to God's salvific grace. This study offers an exegetical analysis of three key Greek terms in Colossians 3:13, namely "anechomenoi" (patient forbearance), "charizomenoi" (forgiving as an act of grace-giving), and "echarisato" (Christ's completed act of forgiveness), employing a qualitative approach through grammatical-historical exegesis. The analysis encompasses lexical, grammatical, historical, and theological dimensions. The findings demonstrate that the verbal tense distinction between the aorist indicative of echarisato and the present participle of charizomenoi and anechomenoi is not merely a grammatical phenomenon but a theological structure, affirming that the congregation's ongoing forgiveness is grounded in God's completed act of forgiveness in Christ. Christian forgiveness is communal, proactive, and unconditional precisely because it derives from charis rather than legal obligation. These findings carry significant implications for forming congregational communities that practice forgiveness as a communal way of life grounded in the boundless grace of Christ. Abstrak Pengampunan dalam tradisi Kristen melampaui kewajiban moral, yakni sebagai respons etis terhadap anugerah keselamatan Allah. Penelitian ini mengkaji secara eksegetis tiga kata kunci Yunani dalam Kolose 3:13, yaitu “anechomenoi” (sabar menanggung), “charizomenoi” (mengampuni sebagai pemberian anugerah), dan “echarisato” (Kristus telah mengampuni secara tuntas), melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode eksegesis gramatikal-historis. Analisis mencakup kajian leksikal, gramatikal, historikal, dan teologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan kala verba antara aorist indicative pada echarisato dan present participle pada charizomenoi dan anechomenoi bukan sekadar fenomena gramatikal, melainkan struktur teologis yang menegaskan bahwa pengampunan jemaat berakar pada pengampunan Allah y…

Dialektika Virtualitas dan Spiritualitas
type: item
description: The digital revolution presents complex challenges for Christian education, particularly through digital Machiavellianism, where strategic manipulation exploits psychological vulnerabilities via algorithms. Using a critical-theological hermeneutical approach, this study examines the tension between digital manipulation and the formation of authentic missionary faith. The study introduces discernment literacy as a learning framework for navigating the digital space without losing spiritual integrity. By combining ideas from theology, education, and digital criticism, this study suggests a new way of teaching about faith that goes beyond just adjusting to technology. Christian education is called to transform the digital space into a locus theo-logicus, an authentic theological encounter space where faith engages in critical dialogue with modernity. Effective faith formation requires transformative practices centered on Missio Dei, enabling believers to resist digital manipulation while fostering authentic spiritual community. Christian education functions as both prophetic criticism and constructive engagement with digital culture, maintaining theological integrity while responding to contemporary challenges in a reflective and relevant manner. Abstrak Revolusi digital menghadirkan tantangan kompleks bagi pendidikan Kristiani, khususnya melalui machiavellianisme digital, di mana manipulasi strategis mengeksploitasi kerentanan psikologis via algoritma. Menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutik kritis-teologis, penelitian ini mengkaji ketegangan antara manipulasi digital dengan formasi iman misional yang autentik. Penelitian memperkenalkan discernment literacy sebagai kerangka pembelajaran untuk menavigasi ruang digital tanpa kehilangan integritas spiritual. Melalui integrasi refleksi teologis, teori pendidikan, dan kritik digital, ditawarkan model pendidikan misional yang transformatif, bukan sekadar adaptif terhadap teknologi. Pendidikan Kristiani dipanggil mentransformasi …

Tubuh yang Diselamatkan
type: item
description: This article reflects on the meaning of Christian salvation from the perspective of orthodox soteriology by positioning women's bodies as a significant ethical-theological locus in the context of gender-based violence in East Nusa Tenggara. Employing a contextual critical theological hermeneutic approach, this study uses Dietrich Bonhoeffer's ethics of responsibility as the primary lens. Women's bodies are understood as reality at stake in the relationship of faith; thus, practices of violence, exploitation, and human trafficking constitute a theological crisis demanding a responsible faith response. Feminism is positioned as a limited lens for ethical concern in reading experiences of suffering, without being made the dogmatic foundation of soteriology. In dialogue with the socio-cultural reality of NTT, this article affirms that violence against women's bodies is related to asymmetrical power relations, structural poverty, and distortion of social values. Grounded in the concept of imago Dei, salvation is understood as God's work that restores human dignity and relationships holistically and calls the church to be responsibly present amid the reality of structural violence. Abstrak Artikel ini merefleksikan makna keselamatan Kristen dari perspektif soteriologi ortodoks dengan menempatkan tubuh perempuan sebagai lokus etis-teologis yang signifikan dalam konteks kekerasan berbasis gender di Nusa Tenggara Timur. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutik teologis kritis kontekstual, penelitian ini menjadikan etika tanggung jawab Dietrich Bonhoeffer sebagai lensa utama. Tubuh perempuan dipahami sebagai realitas yang dipertaruhkan dalam relasi iman, sehingga praktik kekerasan, eksploitasi, dan perdagangan manusia merupakan krisis teologis yang menuntut respons iman bertanggung jawab. Feminisme diposisikan secara terbatas sebagai lensa keprihatinan etis untuk membaca pengalaman penderitaan, tanpa dijadikan fondasi dogmatik soteriologi. Dalam dialog dengan realitas sosial…

Model Integrasi Iman-Teknologi-Empati sebagai Strategi Guru PAK dalam Membangun Moderasi Beragama di Sekolah Heterogen
type: item
description: Indonesia's religiously diverse educational landscape requires a strong framework for religious moderation, especially for Christian religious education teachers serving in heterogeneous schools. Previous studies have examined teachers' strategies but have not integrated theological foundations, digital literacy, and empathy into a unified conceptual model. This article proposes the Faith Technology Empathy Integration Model (TEI Model) to synthesize six key strategies for promoting religious moderation. It uses a qualitative approach through library research and thematic synthesis. Strategies include integrating tolerance into learning, modeling moderate attitudes, fostering interreligious dialogue, encouraging collaboration across diverse backgrounds, cultivating empathy, and strengthening digital media literacy. The TEI model is grounded in the theological concepts of imitatio Christi, agape, and shalom. It demonstrates that faith formation, technological literacy, and empathy function as mutually reinforcing pillars for religious moderation while offering practical implications for teacher training, curriculum development, and future empirical research. Abstrak Lanskap pendidikan Indonesia yang majemuk menuntut kerangka yang kokoh bagi moderasi beragama, khususnya bagi guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen di sekolah yang heterogen. Berbagai penelitian telah mengkaji strategi guru PAK, tetapi belum menawarkan model konseptual yang memadukan fondasi teologis, literasi digital, dan empati. Artikel ini mengusulkan Model Integrasi Iman Teknologi Empati (ITE) sebagai kerangka yang menyatukan enam strategi guru PAK dalam membangun moderasi beragama. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka dan sintesis tematik. Keenam strategi tersebut meliputi integrasi nilai toleransi, keteladanan, dialog antaragama, kolaborasi lintas latar belakang, pengembangan empati, serta literasi media digital. Model ITE disusun berdasarkan konsep teologis imitatio …

Ekopedagogi Kristen Berbasis Metafora Tubuh Allah
type: item
description: The current global ecological crisis is not only an environmental issue, but also a matter of faith, spirituality, and social justice. In Indonesia, deforestation, pollution, and conflicts between indigenous peoples and corporations show that ecological damage always has an impact on human suffering. The church, such as the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP), which is the prophetic voice of the Batak people, affirms that ecological issues are integral to the identity of the faith. In creation theology, classical thinking and Indonesian theological reflections find radical expression in Sallie McFague's metaphor of “the world as the body of God.” This metaphor affirms that harming nature means harming God. However, the pedagogical dimension of this metaphor has not been systematically explored, especially in the context of faith education in Indonesia. This article employs a qualitative method grounded in a literature review, integrating McFague's eco-theological reflections and Karen B. Tye's six-aspect Christian pedagogical framework. The result is that the integration of the two can give rise to a transformative ecological pedagogy relevant to churches and Christian schools in Indonesia and contribute academically to the development of eco-theology. Abstrak Krisis ekologi global dewasa ini bukan hanya masalah lingkungan, melainkan juga masalah iman, spiritualitas, dan keadilan sosial. Di Indonesia, deforestasi, pencemaran, dan konflik masyarakat adat dengan korporasi menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan ekologis selalu berdampak pada penderitaan manusia. Gereja, seperti Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) yang bersuara profetis Tanah Batak, menegaskan bahwa isu ekologi adalah bagian dari identitas iman. Dalam teologi penciptaan, pemikiran klasik hingga refleksi teolog Indonesia menemukan ekspresi radikal dalam metafora Sallie McFague tentang “dunia sebagai tubuh Allah”. Metafora ini menegaskan bahwa melukai alam berarti melukai Allah. Namun, dimensi pedagogis dari metaf…

Keselamatan dan Kekekalan Pernikahan

Therefore, we need to conduct research on Christian marriage and divorce literature from both soteriological and anthropological perspectives. The aim of this research is to answer whether divorced Christians who remarry can enter heaven, even though they are indicated to be living in adultery with their partner. Will the marriage relationship between a Christian husband and wife continue to exist in eternity? This research will employ qualitative methods, specifically a literature review. The results of this research are that first, Christians who divorce and remarry have fallen short of God's best design for their married life. But God will definitely forgive anyone who wants to repent and live righteously. There is still a guarantee of safety for couples like this who want to live their married lives wisely. Second, the marriage relationship between husband and wife on earth will be perfected in eternity. Abstrak Pernikahan, perceraian, dan pernikahan kembali menjadi isu yang sering dibahas dalam dunia kekristenan hingga saat ini. Perbedaan pendapat para hamba Tuhan mengenai hal ini sering kali menimbulkan kebingungan bagi jemaat. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai studi literatur pernikahan dan perceraian Kristen dari perspektif soteriologis dan antropologis. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menjawab apakah orang Kristen yang bercerai dan hidup, dan menikah lagi dapat masuk ke Sorga, sedangkan ia terindikasi hidup dalam perzinahan dengan pasangannya. Kemudian, apakah hubungan pernikahan dari sepasang suami istri Kristen akan tetap eksis di dalam kekekalan? Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa orang Kristen yang bercerai dan menikah lagi telah menyimpang dari rancangan ter…

Beyond Evangelism
type: item
description: This study examines the theological foundations of koinonia as a missional framework that transcends traditional evangelistic approaches within Pentecostal theology. Through hermeneutical analysis and phenomenological methodology, this research examines how Pentecostal communities in Indonesia can foster interfaith friendships while maintaining theological integrity. The study argues that koinonia provides a robust theological foundation for mission that emphasizes relational transformation, rather than solely focusing on religious conversion, particularly in Indonesia's pluralistic context.

Reorientasi Eksistensi Manusia dalam Terang Missio Dei bagi Pendidikan Kristiani
type: item
description: Christian education often succeeds in transmitting knowledge but frequently fails to guide learners toward understanding the meaning of their existence before God. Many learning processes stop at cognitive and moral achievements without nurturing awareness of the calling to live within God’s mission. The fundamental issue stems from a perspective that dissociates humans from their relationship with the Creator, resulting in an independent interpretation of meaning. Reorientation is needed by placing human existence in the light of the Missio Dei so that life is understood as participation in God’s work of reconciliation and restoration. This study integrates missional theology, human existence, and Christian education to formulate an educational direction that shapes persons who actively participate in God’s mission. The analysis shows the need for a shift from academically oriented education toward development that engages the mind, affections, and will. Educational success is measured not merely by knowledge but by lived faith, just relationships, a spirit of reconciliation, and involvement in communal restoration. Missio Dei, therefore, is not simply part of the curriculum but the foundation of the entire learning process. Christian education, rooted in the Missio Dei, directs human existence from self-orientation toward faithfulness to God and meaningful participation in God’s restorative work in the world. Abstrak Pendidikan Kristiani sering berhasil mentransmisikan pengetahuan tetapi kerap gagal menuntun manusia memahami makna keberadaannya di hadapan Allah. Banyak proses belajar berhenti pada capaian kognitif dan moral tanpa menumbuhkan kesadaran panggilan untuk hidup dalam misi Allah. Akar persoalan terletak pada pandangan yang memisahkan manusia dari relasi dengan Sang Pencipta, sehingga makna hidup dipahami secara otonom. Reorientasi diperlukan dengan menempatkan eksistensi manusia dalam terang Missio Dei agar hidup dilihat sebagai partisipasi dalam karya …

Pedagogi Radikal untuk Pendidikan di Tanah Papua: Kajian Hermeneutik terhadap Matius 15:21-28 dalam Perspektif Etika Tanggung Jawab Lévinas
type: item
description: This paper explores educational inequality in Papua through Emmanuel Lévinas's ethics of responsibility and an interpretation of Matthew 15:21-28. The research method used is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach. In this article, I present three arguments. First, the interpretation of biblical texts can be used to transform life. Second, Lévinas's theory is insufficient in addressing educational issues in Papua. Third, remembering, reclaiming, and re-presenting, derived from the interpretation of Matthew 15:21-28, are three stages in radical pedagogy. Radical pedagogy is capable of addressing highly complex educational issues and providing prosperous living conditions for the people of Papua. Abstrak Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi ketimpangan pendidikan di tanah Papua melalui pendekatan etika tanggung jawab Emmanuel Lévinas dan penafsiran terhadap Matius 15:21–28. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah kualitatif dengan pendekatan hermeneutik. Dalam artikel ini, saya mengemukakan tiga argumen. Pertama, penafsiran terhadap teks Alkitab dapat digunakan untuk mentransformasi kehidupan. Kedua, teori Lévinas belum memadai dalam menjawab persoalan pendidikan di tanah Papua. Ketiga, remembering, reclaiming, dan re-presenting yang dihasilkan melalui penafsiran terhadap Matius 15:21-28 merupakan tiga tahapan dalam pedagogi radikal. Pedagogi radikal mampu menjawab isu pendidikan yang sangat kompleks serta memberi kehidupan yang sejahtera bagi masyarakat Papua.
