Abstract

This article examines Horace Bushnell's thoughts on Christian Religious Education as presented in his influential work, The Christian Nurture. The method used is a qualitative analysis of Bushnell's writings, supported by a historical-contextual review to understand the social and religious situation that shaped his educational theory. The research findings indicate that Bushnell emphasized the role of family and community in the organic growth of a child's faith, challenging the revivalist tradition that prioritized sudden conversion. Bushnell proposed that Christian education naturally nurture children's faith from an early age thru consistent teaching and example within the family and church community. Bushnell's thinking remains relevant, particularly in designing faith-based educational models that prioritize gradual spiritual growth over mere doctrinal instruction..   Abstrak Artikel ini mengkaji pemikiran Horace Bushnell tentang Pendidikan Agama Kristen sebagaimana dipaparkan dalam karyanya yang berpengaruh, The Christian Nurture. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis kualitatif terhadap tulisan-tulisan Bushnell, didukung oleh tinjauan historis-kontekstual untuk memahami situasi sosial dan religius yang membentuk teori pendidikannya. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Bushnell menekankan peran keluarga dan komunitas dalam pertumbuhan iman anak secara organik, menentang tradisi revivalisme yang mengutamakan pertobatan mendadak. Bushnell mengusulkan agar pendidikan Kristen membina iman anak-anak secara alami sejak dini melalui pengajaran dan teladan yang konsisten dalam keluarga dan komunitas gereja. Pemikiran Bushnell tetap relevan, khususnya dalam merancang model pendidikan berbasis iman yang mengutamakan pertumbuhan rohani bertahap dibandingkan pengajaran doktrinal semata. Kata Kunci: Horace Bushnell, Pendidikan Agama Kristen, The Christian Nurture.

Abstract

The historical tension between faith and reason has remained a central theme in the development of Western philosophy. Christian philosophy and modern rationalism represent two fundamentally different frameworks for understanding reality, knowledge, and truth. Christian philosophy is grounded in a theocentric worldview, wherein God is the ultimate source of all being and knowledge. In contrast, rationalism upholds the autonomy of human reason as the sole foundation for truth and epistemic authority. This article aims to provide a systematic comparison of the ontological and epistemological structures of these two traditions and to explore their implications for human understanding of existence.The study employs a qualitative, comparative-philosophical approach based on library research. It analyzes primary figures such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas from the Christian tradition, and René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza from the rationalist tradition. The findings reveal that Christian philosophy centers knowledge on the interplay between faith and divine revelation, while rationalism isolates knowledge from divine authority and emphasizes deductive reasoning. These distinctions are not merely methodological but deeply impact each system’s metaphysics and anthropology.The article concludes that both Christian philosophy and rationalism represent comprehensive paradigms with unique strengths and limitations. It recommends a dialogical and integrative approach in contemporary philosophy to bridge the historical divide between faith and reason, especially in addressing today’s epistemological and existential challenges.Keywords: Christian Philosophy, Rationalism, Theocentric Ontology, Faith and Reason
