Abstract

This article examines the philosophical reconstruction of Christian Religious Education (CRE) as an instrument for building tolerance awareness within the multicultural society of Makassar City. Utilizing a qualitative research method based on library research and a hermeneutical-philosophical approach, this article analyzes the ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of CRE in the context of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity in Makassar. Reconstruction is carried out on the paradigm, curriculum, methodology, and value orientation of CRE by integrating the thought of educational philosophers, multicultural theologians, and religious tolerance scholars. The findings indicate that philosophically reconstructed CRE can transcend doctrinal-exclusive approaches and transform into a dialogical pedagogy that situates the encounter with the "Other" as a formative moment of faith. The multicultural-tolerant CRE model formulated encompasses four dimensions: the theological-biblical dimension, the philosophical-hermeneutical dimension, the pedagogical-praxis dimension, and the socio-cultural dimension. These findings make a significant contribution to the development of contextual, inclusive, and relevant CRE for building a tolerant civil society in Makassar City.

Abstract

This article observes the dynamics of coexistence within the Indonesian Chinese community, a community that is itself internally diverse in terms of religion. Within a single community, and even within a single family, one may find members who practice Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestant Christianity, and in smaller numbers, Islam. Despite this diversity, the community generally demonstrates a relatively high degree of tolerance in daily life, with friction that tends to be minor and limited to matters related to religious ritual. This article seeks to trace one of the factors that contributes to this pattern of tolerance, particularly from the perspective of Christian values in religious education. The argument proposed is that the biblical command to honor one's parents, as contained in the Fifth Commandment of the Ten Commandments, practically functions as a moral restraint for young Christians when facing religious differences with parents who still practice Buddhism. This tends to encourage a persuasive and patient approach rather than a confrontational one, and in turn helps preserve harmony within families and the broader community. The article also reflects on the pastoral implications of this pattern, including the fairly common phenomenon in which some parents come to express faith in Christ near the end of their lives.
