Abstract

Advancements in modern medical technology have generated profound ethical dilemmas regarding euthanasia and assisted suicide in end-of-life care. Although palliative care has emerged as a more humane approach, it remains vulnerable to utilitarian principles that prioritize patient autonomy and quality of life over the sanctity of life. This study examines the New Testament ethical foundations of the sanctity of life and dignified death as a theological basis for contemporary palliative care practice. Employing a qualitative-hermeneutical, normative, and interdisciplinary approach, this research conducts an exegetical analysis of key New Testament texts: Romans 14:7-9, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Colossians 3:3-4, Philippians 1:21-24, Romans 8:18-25, and 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. The findings demonstrate that the sanctity of life is absolute because human life belongs entirely to God. Furthermore, dignified death in the New Testament is understood not as death without suffering, but as death faced with faith, submission to God, hope of resurrection, and divine glory. This study concludes that New Testament ethics fully supports holistic palliative care that alleviates suffering without hastening death, while firmly rejecting active euthanasia and utilitarian approaches. The findings offer significant contributions toward developing an integrity-based end-of-life care model in Indonesia through meaningful collaboration between medical practice and spiritual ministry.

Abstract

Indonesia, as one of the world’s megabiodiversity countries, faces a severe ecological crisis characterized by massive deforestation, pollution, and climate change impacts, which threaten both ecosystems and human livelihoods. This crisis occurs alongside the national vision of Indonesia Emas 2045 outlined in the RPJPN 2025–2045, which emphasizes sustainable development and environmental resilience. However, the dominant anthropocentric ecclesiology in Indonesian churches has proven inadequate in responding to the cry of the earth. This article proposes the biblical concept of oikos (household of God) as a central metaphor for reconstructing an ecological ecclesiology. Through a contextual systematic theological approach and library research, this study dialogues global ecological theologies (McFague, Boff, Conradie, Laudato Si’) with Indonesian local wisdom, including Archipelagic Ecotheology, Toba Batak cultural capital, stilt-house metaphors, and eco-literacy movements. The findings show that understanding the church as oikos and oikos as the church enables the transformation of the church from an anthropocentric institution into an ecological community that actively promotes environmental justice. This reconstruction offers practical implications for ecological conversion, eco-literacy education, interfaith leadership, and policy advocacy, positioning the church as a strategic partner in realizing environmental justice within Indonesia’s Golden 2045 vision.
