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.

Abstract

Child discipline is a crucial parental responsibility in forming a generation of character and reverence for God, but its practice often falls into two extremes: harsh discipline potentially harming the child or an overly permissive approach that leaves children without moral guidance. This biblical exegetical research on Proverbs 19:18 aims to analyze the concept of child discipline from a biblical perspective, using a comprehensive interpretive method that considers socio-theological context. The research results show that true discipline is an educational process based on love, encompassing instruction, wise correction, and educational consequences, focusing on forming children's spiritual character from an early age through a holistic approach that avoids violence and directs children towards wisdom and obedience to God.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a philosophy of Christian Religious Education (CRE) that engages critically and constructively with the philosophical structure of the digital ecosystem inhabited by Generation Z, in order to develop a framework for character formation that is not merely technically adaptive but rooted in deep ontological, epistemological, and ethical inquiry. Existing studies on CRE and Generation Z have largely remained at the level of digital media-based learning strategies, with limited attention to the philosophical tensions between classical/contemporary CRE and the internal logic of the digital ecosystem. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research design, applying a philosophical-hermeneutical approach and dialectical-conceptual analysis across five domains: (1) faith epistemology versus algorithmic epistemology; (2) the philosophy of presence/koinonia versus disembodied digital relationships; (3) imago Dei versus performative, layered digital identity; (4) classical spiritual disciplines versus the digital attention economy; and (5) vertical pedagogical authority versus peer-to-peer/influencer culture. The findings indicate that an adequate response lies neither in outright rejection nor uncritical accommodation of the digital ecosystem, but in creative reformulation, yielding five new theoretical constructs: counter-epistemology, layered hybrid theological presence, a pedagogy of divine recognition, spiritual discipline as communal resistance, and relational-verified authority. These five formulations affirm that a CRE philosophy responsive to Generation Z is one that engages contextually with theological confidence, rather than sacrificing depth for digital relevance. The study recommends further empirical research to test the application of these formulations in the practice of Christian education within churches and Christian educational institutions.
