Abstract

Theological Interpretation of the Scripture and Theological Presuppositions Behind It. There are plenty of figures and writings that attempt to introduce, discuss, and show the workings of Theological Interpretation of Scripture (TIS) as an approach in reading the Holy Scripture; however, not many that actually dissect the theological-philosophical thoughts laid behind it. This paper will discuss the nature, essence, and characteristics of the TIS approach through some of the forming convictions behind it, which can be said as "DNA" for the TIS approach and at the same time, differentiates it from other interpretive approaches. The TIS approach seems best understood as a reading that happened in two contexts, namely theological and ecclesial contexts. In a theological context, the TIS approach believes that the Scripture is sacred writing, the Scripture is a medium of divine communication to people throughout history even today, the Scripture has unity in all its parts with Jesus Christ as the center and binding, and the Scripture is best read with an awareness of theological lenses of the reader. In an ecclesial context, the TIS approach emphasizes the royal priesthood of all members of the body of Christ as readers of the text, the necessity of the community of believers in reading, and the normative function of the text aimed at producing transformation in the lives of the people of God.

Abstract

Sketches of Church Ministry Before, During, and After the COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic can be likened to a “mirror” that shows the authenticity of church ministries’ real faces. Before the pandemic, there had been observations emerging from various kinds of literature, research, and various experiences in the ministry context that showed a separation between biblical theology and the ministry’s praxis and the neglect of the primary things in the ministry. These two observations seem to be proven to be true during the pandemic. In three studies on church services conducted in Indonesia during the pandemic, namely a series of researches from Bilangan Research Center, National Survey and National Dialogue from South East Asia Bible Seminary, Malang, as well as a series of researches from the Center for the Church Growth Studies of Amanat Agung Theological School, Jakarta, it was found that the church still has a disproportionate concept of theodicy. The church services are still very dependent on the clergy’s role as professionals and narrowly centered merely on the worship ministry. There is also a serious gap between the older and the younger generation, and church services are not yet ready to deal with technology. Responding to this reality, the writers propose that the church needs to refocus its post-pandemic ministry in six ways, namely: building a theological vision that can be embodied in the ministry, making worship ministry a central but not as a center in ministry, developing family-based discipleship, strengthening pastoral ministry that emphasizes deep personal relationships, paying attention to ministering the next generation, and prioritize the sending capacity rather than solely the seating capacity.

Abstract

Setiap orang yang menjalankan pelayanan gere­ja dalam kurun waktu yang panjang pasti ber­­tanya apakah pelayanan tersebut sudah berjalan dengan baik, efektif, dan mencapai hasil yang maksimal. Ada dua ekstrem dalam merespons hal ini. Ada yang memandang bahwa pelayanan harus selalu sukses (success­ful) dengan tolok ukur peningkatan jumlah kehadiran, peningkatan jumlah persembahan, bahkan juga peningkatan jumlah orang yang bertobat dan dibaptis. Sebaliknya, ada pula yang secara ekstrem memandang bahwa tolok ukur kesuksesan dari hal-hal yang terlihat se­cara fisik itu tidak dibenarkan, karena nilai ter­penting yang harus dipertahankan adalah ke­se­tiaan (faithfulness) dalam melakukan bentuk-bentuk pelayanan yang sudah ada se­lama ini apa pun dan bagaimana pun hasilnya. Timothy Keller mengatakan bahwa dua pandangan ini sama-sama tidak utuh dan tidak cukup. Tentu saja, pelayanan rohani tidak dapat diukur semata-mata dari fenomena fisik atau hal-hal yang kasat mata, tetapi bukan berarti kompe­tensi dan keunggulan (excellency) dalam se­buah pelayanan adalah hal yang tidak penting. Kita tidak dapat hanya menekankan “kese­tia­an” dalam melakukan hal yang sama berulang-ulang jika memang hasilnya tidak efektif atau bahkan tidak terlihat.
